Izavieknik

Since I had the day off I loaded up a bunch of gas and took a trip.  The plan was to go 20 miles up river to its headwaters at Togiak Lake, then cross the 10 mile lake, see how far I could make it up the next river, the Izavieknik, and if possible make it all the way to Upper Togiak Lake.

The river gets smaller and smaller the closer you get to the lake.

About to head across the lake.

At the mouth of the Izavieknik.

Checking it out.

Thought about turning around but didn't.

I got to this island and didn't have enough water to get around either side.  On my GPS it looked like I was only about two miles from Upper Togiak Lake.  Maybe I'll be able to make it next year if the water isn't so low.

Caught some pretty Dolly Varden.

Headed back across the lake and home.
