Garden City RV Park 

Skagway, AK 

8:30?AM.  56°F  Raining 

Leaving Skagway  and heading to Six Mile River Lodge in Tagish, BC for fishing and a one night stay.

We again stop at the BC bordered and the same ranger that told us that there was nothing in Altin was on duty. He of course remembered us. We told him he was right. He just laughed.

We arrive at the Lodge at noon and get the trailer parked and dig out the fishing equipment.im unsure if the gear we have is strong enough to handle the lake trout  27+ inches but we're here. Turns out Six Mile River is not wade-able so we have to fish from the bridge. The process of fishing here is interesting.  If you hook a fish you walk a couple hundred feet off the bridge and land the fish from a boat ramp.

As I feared our equipment isn't heavy enough. The water is moving and our hooks are just skipping on the surface. Even with added waits the same.

The old guy is fishing with a boat rod and lands a 27" Lake trout and heads home. We continue for awhile but finally give up and head back to the trailer...😩

The view from the bridge. Oh I forgot to mention that once we left Skagway the skies cleared.

After dinner sat out side the Lodgr to access wifi to try catching up on the blog. Neither the wifi nor I lasted very long. Saw a sitting area overlooking the river and headed there to feed the mosquitoes for awhile. When I got there a couple was already there. They had just returned from  a 14 day kayak trip in Atlin. They were from Bern, Switzerland.
