SUMMARY REMARKS
Problems on the Trip: LACK OF MENTAL ENERGY ON MY PART. I WAS ON A MARATHON 10-DAY ROAD TRIP THRU THE KOOTENAY REGION OF B.C.
Highlights of the Trip: THE COLUMBIA ITSELF, A BEAUTIFUL AND VERY RICH ECOSYSTEM WITH VERY FEW FISHERMEN, YET STILL CLOSE TO ALL "AMENITIES." WALLEYE FEEDING ON CADDIS-IT'S TRUE!
Cost of the Trip: DAILY RATE $200 PER PERSON
Would You Recommend This Trip to a Friend? Yes
Why? IF IN THE AREA, SURE. I'D LOVE TO RECOMMEND THE RAINBOW FISHING, BUT AS I DIDN'T TRY IT, I CAN'T. I DID SEE SOME LARGE RAINBOWS FEEDING.
Are There Non-Fishing Activities?
If So, What Are They?
