Thanks for all the info. I expected all the rivers recommended to be either in the West Coast, BC Canada or Alaska. Looks like there is a thriving Chinook fishery in the Great Lakes area too. I'll certainly give it good consideration. If you have any guides or fly shop that you can recommend for the great lakes area it will be most appreciated. I'm planning ahead for my 2013 trip in Jun/July time frame. Thanks again.


{PS for "big" : if you're referring to the Marco Polo Hotel on Tanglin Road, yes, its still there... although I'll much prefer a lodge in Alaska }
