I'll pass on those dates to Paul - our trip coordinator ;-) It sounds a little
later than might be optimal - would you consider staying at the Salmon Heaven
lodge if you could get in a couple of weeks earlier?

I agree that it's past optimal, date-wise; but we have a long history
and friendship at Malinda's that I'd hate to give up. Also, the
steelhead fishing picks up a bit as the salmon fishing winds down, so
that's not a totally bad thing. Still, I'd expect her to tire of the
whole thing eventually. She works pretty long hours between the lodge
& the shop.

I've given an alternate location some thought & considered the SHL for
when Malinda throws in the towel. How many rooms do they have there?
I'd hate to book rooms & block you out for the dates. We do have a
standing policy of never going up on Columbus Day weekend because of
the crowds, & usually shoot for the week after rather than the week
before.
