Big Sky Charter and Fish Camp

The Main Lodge

(note: Butch has sprouted horns!)

Seen again from down on the fishing platform by the river 

 The main cabin by the river:

 You have to admit, it has charm.  The only issue I had was THIS was the one touted as having the bath downstairs - and with two rooms up... well, it had two "rooms" up (curtained off with sheets), however the bath was upstairs. 

 seen from the fish gutting station :o)

 The fish gutting station in question:

 This is the Hawaiian Hut: We were relegated to the place with the loft and many, many bunks shoved into it... and I didn't get a picture of that. There were two futon bunks upstairs AND a roller bed - folded in half. I have to say they did come in handy for making a "cave" to darken the room :o)

 Right across the street was the community "out house" now you would think we would be offended, but we weren't.  It was very handy when our bathroom was busy and I hear it had the better shower of the camp as well.  I didn't try the shower :o)  The cans in front are garbage - the upside to 60 degree weather?  The garbage never stinks!

 Walking down the hill from Hawaiian Hut to the Hacienda (not that we EVER called them this) - to the right is the main lodge (if that puts it into perspective?)

 To the left as you walked out of the main cabin we had (Hacienda) there were quite a few of the metal docs.  They are put in place to help with erosion and bank loss.  They had a nice set up to walk along the banks for a bit and get to the river to fish. (not sure what direction by N/E/W/S)

 This is to the left behind the Hawaiian Hut - this is one of the fishing guides dogs (Bailey).  His wife, three kids and dog came to see him the last day we did Salmon fishing. His "boat" dog will be seen later - Badger.  Seems it's common to have a dog on just about every boat on the river.

 Some of the "custom" cabins they had their own baths

 More of the custom cabins.. you can see the first ones had upstairs, these did not.  The "exchange" on the far left of the picture is where we would pick up rain gear, sweaters, boots, generally nice things to have on the water.

Over head bar entrance to the camp.

 A view of a float plane taking off on the river right in front of us.  This happened at least twice on our stretch of river.
