JustPlainPetrified Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Wonderful trip to the South Ram River in between camping and kayaking. While the rest of the group went to see Ram River Falls I elected to check my favourite spot for any scaphites that may have popped up since my last visit a couple years ago. Lucky day. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShrifter Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Those are great scaphites! I'll be hunting the Kaskapau FM this year which I believe to be from the same group as the puskwaskua FM. I'll have to keep my eye out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShrifter Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Not the smoky river no. I'll be working creeks closer to Chetwynd/Tumbler. Although the Smoky/GP isn't far, I have never spent any time exploring the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPlainPetrified Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 If you have a boat, I can direct you to a great location on the Smoky downstream from River Stone golf & campground. The Pouce Coupe river has some good spots too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
