Yep, but a splinter river off of it a bit of the ways up, of course depending on freeze temperatures in the mountains. Water can literally drop two feet in the course of the night and reverse rise two feet in the mid day.......  Did it several years ago and we slayed them...  Buddy bought his brand spanking new Air Boat last year so I gave him a year to be proficient and of course I get the co-pilot seat... :chuckle: :chuckle:  Love those things, they go in and out of the water as needed, if fact straight up to the camp site without getting wet...  His has a 350 versus big block but pushing, I think 400hp...  Should do fine, I tried to get him to big or go home with a 502 and 500hp but $$$$ rolled that out..  I got my video ready to roll...

Oh yes the river can go up and down quite a bit. You should be there for a good time with the big char that come up into there also. I have a couple of other places up there also that I used to hunt with a zodiac. Always awesome to wake up in the morning and have 100 caribou in the valley below you. Good luck and have fun up there.
