Delta River (Tangle Lakes) Aug 29-Sep 1

The weather couldn't have been better. We had three of the most beautiful days of the summer on this trip. A couple of people from Palmer joined us at Round Tangle to put in for a beautiful Tangle Lakes trip. The fishing was great, mostly towards the lower lakes and in the rapids, and the wildlife was plentiful. We saw moose, eagle, grouse, ptarmigan, muskrat, beaver, and much more. The water was a bit low that late in the season and the inflow from Eureka Creek was as low as I have ever seen it. We had 14 people in 6 canoes and 1 kayak and we even retrieved a canoe from the rocks in the rapids to emerge with 7 canoes. The nights were chilly, we woke to frost on the 1st of Sep. Overall this was one of the best Tangle Lakes and upper Delta trips we have ever had.
