Thanks himo1123. Fishing was so bad the other day cause I couldn't see the water I was casting into from all the thick smoke on the river. The salmon fishing has been great this year though. You don't even have to smoke the salmon cause it is already done. Just kidding. I'm from northern B.C. and things have been OK up here. Cousin lives in Kelowna and he has been evacuated twice. I keep telling him to move up here to gods country with all our beautiful rivers, grizzlies, moose, elk, bison, and loads of fish to play with in summer and winter. NO he keeps telling me he LOVES the heat. Is that hot enough for you yet cousin??? I firmly believe that this is a sign of things to come. Global warming is happening and it is only going to get worse, possibly not next year cause scorched ground is hard to burn a second time.But the years after, watch out.
