Did they get any in in the LSJ region around that big fire?  Hopefully they get that one stopped before it get to the big section of budworm kill west of Forestville and Baie Comeau.

That would be like feeding the fire gasoline!

bonjour smclelan 

 

sorry for the late reply ....i think they got some before i left for the camp thursday ...

a bit of rain here this morning .....its the '' mosquito festival ''  right now at the camp ....crazy ...

also , budworms are back .....i have nt been to camp since the last 2 weeks....more red in the wood right now...

only 1 moose in about 100 miles of riding ....

from sopfeu.....posted this morning

The fire has not progressed for a few days. The area is adjusted according to the work carried out by the ground teams, so it is normal for it to vary a little and it is the same for the perimeter. Currently the area is estimated at 62,211.4 ha. The perimeter of the fire is just over 200 km.

The fire is considered "Content", which means that its progression is stopped, at least temporarily. The work of extinguishing the hot spots located on the perimeter to the northwest of the border made us progress in the control of this one.

From the start of the week, the weather should change. With heat and dryness, the fire could wake up and resume activity within the perimeter.

Nearly 280 people work at the fire site. This includes ten sections of twenty forest firefighters from Quebec, Ontario and Alberta, the major fire management team, pilots and personnel from certain suppliers who support operations.

Today’s temperatures will be cool, the relative humidity will be fairly high and the winds will be light. This will facilitate the deletion work.

Due to the weather conditions that we have had since Thursday, the fire has no activity (it is dormant), which allows the forest firefighters to work to consolidate the borders in order to surround the fire inside its perimeter by watering hot spots.

What are they doing to try to stop these worms, it is a really serious issue. Later all those dead trees will be a tremendous fire hazard with lightening.Seems like this is the year we will never forget!!

There's what a little motivation does. 

Those Sammys don't get an extra $600 a week to sit on their couch. 

Are there enough ladies up stream to accommodate?

i don t know exactly , maybe another 15-20 miles to bring eggs up the river....i posted pics before of that part of river........a lot narrower with nice little rocks at the bottom ...

roughly 12 miles east of my camp ....

i was talking with a friend yesterday ......soon , they ll dive in the river from town toward matapedia .....count the salmons.....if there s over a thousand salmons in the river....

so, around august , if fishing , you ll be able to keep your salmon ....right now , its only catch and release

 

the salmon on the pic....made an awesome jump .....5 th gear and landed in the dark flat spot up the pic....once in the water, down shifted and vroooom up the river

last night , went to take pics....i was 15 ' inside a field....there was flies ...but realized only there was that much when i downloaded the pics !!!
