Walt & Brian Curtis

Hi Laker meetings are held at the Mercer Island Community Center on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 7:30 PM.

Editor’s Notes: We continue the tradition of mixing

articles on member’s recent trips and articles on

events that may affect the fishery we enjoy. I hope

this routine is not getting a bit dry. Personally, I

think that we need some more pizzazz in this humble

rag. Any of you can submit articles, you know, short

or long. A bit of humor in these pages would be terri-

fic too. To that end, I hope to convince a recently

returned member, Randy Clark, to contribute a single

page each two months (“Randy’s Page”??

...…hmmmmm someone think of a great title). For

those of you who don’t know Randy, he is the Hi

Laker who started this Newsletter! In those days

Randy’s humor was the best part of our newsletter.

C’mon, Randy, make us laugh again!

This month we hear from Brian Curtis giving us the

closing chapter of the 1997 Curtis wilderness trip. In

the other vein, Gerry Ring Erickson gives us food for

thought on the coming threat to continued fish stock-

ing in the North Cascades National Park. Jim Led-

better has also given us an update on the IFPAG

meeting held last fall.

Hold on to your seats ’cause starting in the March

newsletter we will once again be treated to a multi-

part story of John Baskin’s latest trip to Russia.

John’s last tale was a terrific hit with us all, and be-

lieve me: he’s done it again!

Please note we are dropping any member who has

not paid their 1997 dues. See the “Club Business”

section for details. Also note that the last two pages

of this newsletter are the current Hi Laker roster.

President's Pack First a big THANK YOU to Rex

and Yanling Johnson for their

fabulous slide show at our No-

vember meeting. Their show

leaves little doubt about why we

all love these Cascades. THANKS

to George Bucher for his entertain-

ing tale of his 1997 Adventures.

George always manages to put us

all to shame with the depth and breadth of outings each year. His

slides were great as was his double

projector technique (now if he can only figure out how it works!).

Looking back over the year, it’s

been a good one with only a cou-

ple of minor glitches, like the one

in April when I was elected El

Presidente and all you folks have had to suffer through my jokes

ever since. The other one was

when I slashed two fingers, and

although both healed up nicely,

one is still numb at the tip.

It’s been a good year for hiking

and just plain walking. I logged 1,826 miles (ed. note: now THAT

ought to put all you he-men and

she-women to shame!) and found

that 5 miles a day does a super

conditioning job.

I’ve been privileged to hike with more members than ever before

and there are a couple of lockjaw

lakes for ’98. One of those pro-

duced a 24 incher last year, caught

by a non-member. I’m not gonna

tell anyone about the member who

caught a 21 incher, took a picture

of it, and then didn’t come forward

with it because the picture gave

away the location. I still like Nor-

ton’s expertise of two 24 inchers measured with his knife which is

1/8 short of 8”. But there has to be

proof with pictures, so that every-

one can drool. Somehow just talk-

ing about it leaves too much to be

desired.

Another good thing in ’97 was my

purchase of second raft so that I

can invite all the new guys to share

the waves. Once a new member

experiences the ease and beauty of

that raft, he invariably wants his

own. Walt and Brian, you better

make up a few extras for ’98.

Steelheading WAS an option for

this time of year and it kept me

hiking to some of the more remote

spots. The fishing hasn't been

much, especially this season, but

the outings are great. Now if I can

just find a river that's open that can

get me into some fish.

The Togiak – A

True Wilderness

(part II) Brian Curtis continues the tale of

his June 1997 hike in Alaska’s

Togiak Wilderness Area with his

dad Walt, his sister Sharon Early,

her husband Dennis, Steve White,

and Sandy McKean.

During the month of June in

Alaska the long daylight hours do

strange things to time and your

biological clock. It is so beautiful,

and there are so many fun things to

do that you stay up as late as you

can to fit it all in. As the trip wore

on we found that we were getting

up later and later. We finally real-

ized that we needed to subtract three hours from official clock

time to make our schedule seem

reasonable. That meant that our

going to bed at 1:00 AM was

really like 10:00 PM, and that our

habit of breaking camp at noon

was not so decadent but was more

like a normal 9:00 AM.

The next large lake on the itinerary

was Nagugun. It was roughly 15

miles up the Goodnews River, past

its headwaters and over a pass

down to the lake. We had allocated

two days for this stretch. That

morning at Goodnews Lake was beautiful, the best weather of the

trip. As we broke camp we

watched a tern sitting on an egg on

the beach of an island in the river.

Prior to the trip, when we were

pouring over the maps, large swamps marked in many of the

valley bottoms became a major

concern. The swamp that stretched

over two miles up the Goodnews

River was the nastiest looking.

Fortunately, the areas marked as

swamp were, for the most part, just

large areas of tussocks with

braided streams meandering

through. The Goodnews River

swamp turned out to be a different kind of obstacle. The river had cut

steep valley walls that offered pro-

tection for a tangle of brush and

trees that didn’t look like it would

be fun at all. We decided to start

out by hiking across the valley and

climbing to a bench that would

allow us to travel on high ground

for a couple of miles. If the brush,

beaver ponds, streams, and trees

were any indication of what travel

would have been like straight up the valley we made the correct

decision to make a bee line for

higher ground.

After several miles our bench pe-

tered out and deeply cut side chan-

nels forced us down into the river bottom. The going in this stretch

was not bad at all. The trees were

large enough that we were under

the branches and the undergrowth

was tall grass. We only had to

cope with typically uneven ground

and occasional logs and streams.

The real problem in this area was

the mosquitoes. As soon as we

dropped out of the wind they de-

scended on us in clouds. Finally we had to cross the river. This

crew never put their waders on as

quickly as they did then. Once on

the other side we were able to

climb out of the protection of the

valley into the open slopes and

away from the mosquitoes. I had

been really looking forward to

fishing the Goodnews river as we

hiked along it for this stretch. Un-

fortunately, our route on higher

ground kept us away from the river

and the mosquitoes kept us from

stopping when we were near the

river.

For camp that night we had in

mind a small lake that was a bit

more than half way to Nagugun.

As we got close to the lake it be-

came apparent that fish would be

unlikely. The lake sat on a high

flat area with only a small outlet

that tumbled down a bank that was

too steep for fish passage. Dead tired, we dragged ourselves to the

lake to look for a campsite. The

deepest tussocks we had seen the

entire trip surrounded this lake. On

what appeared, on the map, to be a

huge flat area, we couldn’t find a

flat space large enough to erect a

single tent. We gathered at the

head of the lake to scout for

spaces. My dad dropped his pack

to hunt around a bit. This turned out to be a mistake. As soon as he

was 50 feet from his pack the

clouds opened up in a monstrous

deluge that sent everyone scurry-

ing for raingear. By the time he

made it back to his pack and

donned his jacket, he was soaked.

Since we couldn’t locate any place

to pitch our tents we scrambled

down into the river bottom. There

we found a nice river bar to set up

camp. As the sun circled below the horizon that night, the surrounding

mountains burned red with al-

penglow. The combination of the

showers in the area and the al-

penglow produced a remarkable

completely red rainbow. We

dubbed it an “alpenbow.”

The weather was beautiful again

the next morning. We were start-

ing to settle into a pattern with bad

weather moving in for the after-

noon. We later learned that this

was an unusual weather pattern for

the Togiak. Our march kept us

traveling up river. We hiked in as

straight a line as we could while

trying to avoid the patches of brush that appeared everywhere.

After a couple miles of this we had

to cross the valley bottom and

climb to higher ground up a short

steep embankment . We popped up

just under a beautiful large bull

caribou. Unfortunately, we had to

plunge right back into the worst

stretch of brush on the trip – thick scrub alder and willow that had us

slowed to a crawl. Soon our efforts

were rewarded by reaching what

was perhaps the most magical sec-

tion of the trip: traversing for sev-

eral miles through a wonderfully

isolated, high valley. There was

something about this valley that

was the epitome of a feeling we

had often during the trip – a feel-

ing that perhaps, just perhaps, you

were the first human being to ever set foot here. We stopped for lunch

and watched two herds of Caribou

as one headed down valley along

an alpine creek, and the other

climbed effortlessly up and over

the steep ridge to the SW of us.

Eventually, we made it to the shore

of a small lake – or very large bea-

ver pond – that is the headwaters

of the Goodnews river. We tried a

few casts but didn’t see any fish in the shallow lake. Almost immedi-

ately the route plunged us down an

easy going hill to the shore of Na-

gugun Lake. We rejoiced when we

finally dragged ourselves to the

lakeshore. We set up our rods and

immediately started catching oo-

dles of small (8–13”) Arctic char.

There is an odd convergence of

drainages in this area. The Good-

news drains southwest to Good-

news Bay, the Togiak drains south

to Togiak Bay and the Kanektok

River drains west to Kuskokwim

Bay. Nagugun Lake cuts right

through the spine of an incredibly

rugged range of mountains that divides these drainages. It comes

very close to draining in all three

directions, but ultimately drains to

the Togiak. We later learned from

the US Fish and Wildlife Service

that the Togiak drainage is odd

because only one lake in the whole

system has mackinaw. They

haven’t figured out why. Gechiak,

the lake where we started the trip,

and in which we found Arctic char

and rainbow, is also in the Togiak

drainage. The lack of mackinaw

may explain why Nagugun Lake

appeared to be overrun with Arctic

char. I eventually caught a skinny 17 incher here, but the fishing was

quantity rather than quality.

Our original plan was to set up

camp by the outlet. The next day

was to be a rest day where we

could fish up the lake and move camp to the upper end. Ever slaves

to the plan, my dad and I started

working our way down toward the

outlet, but it was clear by the near

mutiny by the rest of the exhausted

crew that this was a very bad idea.

So we carried our packs out to a

point which offered fine camping

on its excellent beach. It soon be-

came apparent, however, that the

blustery wind which accompanied the many showers nearby would

make this exposed site a bit un-

comfortable. Then someone had

the bright idea that since the winds

were blowing up the lake in the

direction we needed to go, and that

since our proposed route along the

lake for the next day looked very

nasty indeed, and even though it

was fairly late in the afternoon,

wouldn’t it be swell to just float up

lake all the way to tomorrow’s camp! After some debate, we in-

flated our boats, put our packs

down under our feet, and squeezed

into the remaining small space. We

had an entire fleet on the lake.

Once on the water, happy to be off

our feet, we formed up a line to

discuss our plans. We soon dis-

covered that the gusty wind strik-

ing our little flotilla could move us

along at a decent clip. That was when someone got the bright idea

to put up a sail. Steve had a tarp

handy in his pack. Holding the tarp

up to the wind, we sailed down the

lake. It was really fun and what a

sight it must have been to the

watching Caribou. Too bad the

wind died down and we eventually

had to break apart and start pad-

dling.

We made it about half way down

the lake before darkness and rug-

ged topography made it clear there

would be no more opportunities

for campsites if we continued any

further. We set up camp on a high flat area of the gravel beach with a

large beaver house nearby. The

evening sun presented us with an-

other interesting rainbow. Double

rainbows are common, but they are

normally parallel. That evening we

saw two primary rainbows that

crossed at different angles. At first

this seemed contrary to the laws of

physics, but we soon realized that

if two different rain showers had

drops slanting a different angles they could create this unusual dis-

play. After a very long day, we

slept very soundly that night.

In the morning we paddled our

way to the upper end of the lake where we found a large berm with

a flat top that was perfect for tents.

In back of the berm was an area

that had been a large beaver pond.

The pond had blown out and ex-

tensive mud flats were left. That

afternoon we saddled up with day

packs and headed over to Klak

Lake, just over a mile away. At

about a mile and a quarter long,

Klak Lake was one of the smallest lakes we visited. It was our first

lake in the Kanektok drainage. The

travel was also some of the easiest

we had experienced. Our light

packs coupled with an easy stretch

of tundra made it a very pleasant

walk. To put this in perspective, on

this easy, pleasant walk, without

full packs, we managed just about

one mile per hour. It got even bet-

ter once we started fishing. I

worked my way around to the left while Steve went right and every-

one else fanned out in between.

We couldn’t catch fish every cast

here. Although we had to work a

bit for our fish in this lake, nobody

complained once they caught one.

Steve found a hot spot where he

was catching a bunch of macki-

naw. I caught a mixture of macs

and Arctic char from 20 inches to

23 inches. We had to leave much

too quickly. When I got back to

where we were set to take off, my

dad was proudly showing off the

gorgeous, fat 24 inch Arctic char

he caught. This was the largest fish on the trip. For catching the big-

gest fish he was able to collect $20

each from the rest of us.

That night Steve volunteered to

cook the fish. He had extolled the

virtues of cooking fish by throwing them straight on the coals. I was

skeptical. Steve arranged a nice

bed of coals and the char was set

in place. After a few minutes he

flipped it using some dirty socks

for hot pads and a couple of sticks.

When done, it was pulled out of

the fire with coals sticking all over

the skin. It was not a pretty sight.

This was easily one of the best fish

I have ever eaten. It was done to

perfection: moist and flavorful. Fantastic. I only wish Steve had

cooked all the fish on the trip.

It was back to hiking the next day.

Our route was to take us over the

highest elevation on the trip, and

down to Kanuktik Lake where we were due to be picked up the fol-

lowing day. When we crossed the

drained beaver pond area at the

head of Nagugun we spotted a nice

set of large bear tracks. The lower

part of the hill was typical tundra

and brush patches, but it didn’t

take us long to gain enough eleva-

tion to reach solid ground. We

eventually topped out at about

2,200 feet. At this elevation only

the toughest life could exist. Li-chens and small exotic plants

struggle to survive in this harsh

environment. The ridge we were

crossing was broad and barren

with a crown of spectacular jagged

peaks. Views back to Nagugun

with its rugged mountains all

around were breathtaking. Hiking

here was pure joy.

Kanuktik Lake was the highest

lake we visited at 1,155 feet. That

was high enough to be able to find

some solid ground on which to

pitch tents. As soon as we had the

tents pitched the wind and rain started to howl. It blew and rained

hard enough that Sandy spent most

of the afternoon in Steve’s tent and

Steve found the tent wall flapping

in his face for most of the night.

We had some concern that the

wind might be strong enough to

keep the pilot from landing. The

wind did let off enough in the late

afternoon to allow fishing. We

caught Arctic char and mackinaw up to 22 inches.

Before leaving Dillingham we had

given Lester, the pilot, our itiner-

ary. He said he’d fly past Nagugun

first, since he “had to go that way

anyway,” to see if perhaps we were there since our trip seemed

rather ambitious to him. My dad

declared, in a very firm voice,

“we’ll be here” as he pointed deci-

sively to Kanuktik Lake. I don’t

know if Lester was surprised we

made it all the way or not, but he

landed right on time. As he

climbed out of the plane he was

obviously impressed as he said,

“Good job. I’ll never doubt you

guys again.” The common re-sponse among locals when told

about us hiking in the Togiak was,

evidently, “Why”?

After landing in Dillingham we

drove into town for some lunch. It was a rather strange, dusty town

with seemingly more boats than

people. My dad, flush with his

$100 in winnings offered to pick

up the lunch tab; it cost him $120.

A trip in this kind of country puts our Washington wilderness in per-

spective. We don’t have real wil-

derness, just a few sliced and diced

pieces of land we like to pretend

we have preserved as wilderness.

Hiking in the Togiak, I experi-

enced intangible feelings of dan-

ger, loneliness, and scale that I

didn’t really know I was missing. Much more then just another hike,

it was an experience. an education,

and a true adventure.

IFPAG Meeting

9/27/97 Update As I’ve mentioned before, Jim

Ledbetter and Gerry Ring Erick-

son are members of the Inland

Fish Policy Advisory Group

(IFPAG). The Fish & Wildlife De-

partment (WDFW) established this

group to provide “official” citizen

input and suggestions on WDFW

inland fish policies. Jim has been

kind enough to provide the follow-

ing bullets from their last meeting

at Silver Beach Resort on Rimrock

Lake.

USFWS is investigating West

Slope (Twin Lake) CT for possible inclusion on the Endangered Spe-

cies List.

— Jim Ledbetter (guest

contributor)

Our Challenge Our past President always has his

fingers on the pulse of issues that

affect wild fish in this state. I have

cobbled together some of Gerry’s

thoughts from recent email that

addresses the risks we are facing

as the “Letter of Understanding”

between Washington State and the

National Park service comes up

for renewal soon. It is this agree-

ment that allows fish stocking in

the North Cascades Park. That

agreement could be rescinded if

new scientific studies demonstrate

that fish stocking is harmful to

other species.

I believe the argument can be

made that stocking a majority of

high lakes increases the public

good.

The added benefits of public rec-

reation and ecosystem biomass

availability to some predators (os-prey, martin, fishers) outweighs

the ecosystem changes that im-

pinge on native invertebrates that

are part of the food chain for trout

and vertebrates that compete for

that food chain. However, too

much of a good thing is generally

bad. The trick is finding the bal-

ance between stocked lakes and

fishless lakes that maximizes bene-

fits with minimum ecosystem im-

pact.

In wilderness areas, if leaving 1/3rd

of lakes fishless (especially the

smaller, shallower ones) provides

sufficient refuge for native inver-

tebrates and vertebrates, then WDFW is meeting its mandate to

protect the resource, both fish and

wildlife. If research demonstrates

that salamanders cohabit with

trout, that is additional weight that

stocking at low densities provides

excellent public benefits at mini-

mum ecosystem damage. This phi-

losophy is consistent with the

those of the US Forest Service –

“Many Uses.”

However, the Park Service has a

different mandate – “Preserve and

Protect in natural condition.” In all

parks, except the North Cascades

National Park (NCNP), fish stock-

ing is not a option, as all state and

tribal rights and authority were

ceded upon creation of each park,

and fish stocking is simply not

allowed. The only exception is the NCNP. To maintain this precious

resource in our State, we must

constantly remind the Park Service

that Congress’ intent on formation

of NCNP included preserving the

existing recreational fishing pro-

gram and that “natural condition”

can be balanced with “preserving

the existing recreational fishing.”

But, our primary argument has to

transcend all political boundaries.

That primary augment needs to be

founded on sound fish and wildlife

biological principles and field ex-

perience. If a scientific study gets

adopted which has an “anti-fish-

stocking” bias, we could get shot down first in the NCNP on that

basis, and then the wilderness pro-

tection advocates pick up the ball

and kick us out of the rest of the

Wilderness areas. The underlying

fish stocking guidelines have to be

the same in all government man-

aged land, be they state or federal.

We can all contribute to this end

by assisting the WDFW to develop

a High Lakes management plan

that recognizes the need for refuge

areas (unstocked) and light stock-

ing densities across all political

boundaries. Hi Laker fish survey

reports and conservation efforts

are an important contribution al-ready; but now we must be even

more politically involved and sci-

entifically knowledgeable.
