Hey everyone!

For those of you that compulsively check the Johnson Creek webcam 100 times a day like me, here is another one to help fed your back country addiction. Since I've not heard of it before nor seen it, I imagine it must be fairly new.

Enjoy!!

It's not a dream! It may be one of the only good places left in Idaho that IS still unburned. BTW, that "cloud" in the left background is really the Castle Rock fire, that as of 8/30, still HASN'T burned our mountain and our town.....But it was sure close!

Now if they could only let us turn the cam 180 degrees for the sunset. (or sunrise) and let you see the Sawtooths.

I thought the same thing. I sure wish there was another cam pointed up the valley.

How's the fishing at Smiley? I've stopped by there once but didn't do anything other than take a quick look around.

I tried fishing about 8 miles further down on the Salmon, and all I caught were 3-6 inch Brookies. I'd assume that by the strip, where it's only 8 feet wide, there would be only minnows....call Smiley Creek Lodge, they might know different.

For fishing, we took the blue van and explored the local lakes (Alturas and Pettit) and streams. I found some beaver ponds up Smiley Creek that were full of little brookies (good kid fishing). There are bigger fish in the lakes. The folks at the store were helpful.

Good luck!

For those of you more knowledgeable than me, why has the webcam been stuck on the same image for the last few days? I thought I'd see if I could just do the .com part of the site to see if I could contact anyone and the phone number that came up looks like an international number. I thought that was strange. You would think that it would be from a local telephone company or something like that. I've tried doing a search to find out who the sponsor of the site is and couldn't find anything. Maybe some of you more resourceful surfers can find more info on it.

The phone number may be an Iridium or Globalstar sat phone number. Those are listed as international numbers, at least Iridiums are.

Go to the address bar and change camera 2 to 1 you can get the other view.

Overnighted at Smiley Creek on 8/17/07 after arriving from NE about 15:30. Beautiful airstrip, beautiful weather, no smoke, 15 knot crosswind, rally like the place.

go to flyingresortranches.com/cam/ and you can get the flying B, if yo can see it through the smoke.

Besides the two at Smiley Creek, Flying B and Johnson Creek what are some other mountain strip webcams?

I fished Alturas lake once in a tube I hauled in the back of the tripacer. Didn't catch a thing. THe salmon is about 10 feet wide at the strip.. (THat's the stream not the fish) Also pretty much covered with brush and trees. Not a flyfishing paradise. I have great luck at Upper Loon every year. Walk about a mile up the road from the upper loon parking area and cut into the stream. Work the pools back down toward the strip. Pools are very deep and full of fish mostly. I've seen some pretty big trout in them.. THe big ones are finicky which is why they are big. Average catch is about 15 inches. Also had good luck at SHearer one year, and every year at Cabin Creek, and Moose creek.

Hey thanks, I didn't know that. I still wonder why it hasn't been refreshing.

In addition to JC webcam being back up, Smiley Creek's cameras are working again.
