After a three year break because of low salmon stock counts, we are finally able to fish for Sockeye salmon again on the river. I headed out with a friend on his boat opening day. Did not have a lot of luck but was able to pull one in that day. The second day I took the girls to a place where you can walk in and fish. Along with what seemed like hundreds of others, I fished for hours with no luck except snagging one by its back which I had to release and losing a lot of gear in snags. The girls were really good and entertained themselves with only their imagination and millions of rocks. We ended up fishing next to these guys who were having all the luck in the world and they even helped the girls bring their first one ever for each of them. Great group of people. We took home five. Made some fillets and I am going to smoke some as well. Unfortunately, I lost Heather's picture off my cell phone but she didn't have a happy face anyway because she thought it was gross to hold on to it. She said in the end she had a good time though.
