The unofficial end of summer could not have been better weatherwise.
Saturday afternoon was in the low 90s with robin’s egg-blue skies minus any type of cloud between Alberton and St. Regis. Fishing access sites were full, but not overflowing with vehicles, trucks, trailers and a plethora of rubber rafts.
Skylar Bullock is from South Carolina but guiding this summer for Pangea River Rafting and Zoo Town Surfer’s River Rafting and was pulling her boat into Forest Grove Fishing Access on east Mullan 12 miles upstream of Superior. She had three clients from Denver who were on a work/vacation staying at a cabin on the Thompson River.
