Heads or tails
One can really learn a lot about a river and it's salmon when you float down where they migrate up. Learning about the route they travel, obstacles they encounter, pools they'll rest in, and secret places they may hide in, give us fools who chase them a better understanding of how to ultimately release them back to their business after a quick tail/handshake. Nunzio & I were lucky enough to float down a beautiful stretch of river that ran through a national park with our pontoons for a couple of days. We planned our route and hoped to float and explore 14 kms of river and camp in between. The first pool we launched from was long and deep which we soon came to realize that the majority on our route were. We decided to focus on the the heads and tails of the pools since we only had two days. All was going smoothly until we reached the first major pool. What a pool! It stretched for about 100 meters, had a cold brook feeding right down
