Yes, we were fishing in the river that flowed under this snowbank!

Thanh took this picture. You can't see the river, but the backdrop is spectacular.

We fished this river in a snowstorm on the first day. Fish weren't biting.
Barren Valley
Actually, it wasn't barren. This little stream was loaded with small brook trout and brown trout. We fished our way up this ravine.
