Last year I spent a lot of time running from Barge landing up the Athabasca and into the Firebag river. We were in the right spot it just wasn’t our year. It was our first year up there and we learned a lot. If we get an early season draw next year I feel pretty confident we will be in the money.
Two more days of work and I’m off for a week. Unfortunately I’m child-minding while my wife is in Phoenix otherwise I’d be into getting out for a couple days. I’d have no issue taking you up north and showing you the Firebag area.
I would be careful up north in the Athabasca without a winch though. A little breeze on the big river and those sand bars lurking just under the surface sneak up on you.
