Should have mentioned, that fishing trip on the Nechako was cut short by a grizzly bear across the river (as you can see in the photo, not a really wide river at that point!!!) And the grizzly was taking a great interest in us (we had a few rainbows on the bank), and our elk rifles were a quarter mile away in the truck.............AND if you ever shot a grizzly bear, even in self-defence, you are going to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. We got out of Dodge. And the rainbows were not all that good for table fare, rather disappointing really.
So yes, the high point of that fishing session was catching the northern pikeminnows.
