Hi There-fishing got interrupted one evening back in August, 1968 when my cousin Billie Ackley and myself suddenly had a grizzly that must have smelled our fish-we left them for him and made a quick exit-closest I,ve ever been to or want to be to a full grown grizzly, Thank You! I was born on the coast(Anacortes) but my parents and brother moved to Colville in 1966 and then on to Grand Coulee in 1993 where my brother still lives and I have an aunt who lives in nearby Creston-was over for a visit in 2010 at this time of year and fished Banks Lake where I caught my first two kokanees and biggest ever smallmouth bass of over four pounds.
