Fishing with the Family

We had a visit from Honey, Kate and Chase, and took them with Landon and his girlfriend, Shannon, down to the creek to fish for some sockeye.

Kate learning the 'flip' technique.

Kate landed the first sockeye.

Chase, working on landing the second, with Honey giving pointers.

Chase didn't take long to land a large red.

Meanwhile, Landon and Shannon were on a different part of the creek pulling some in. Shannon hadn't caught a salmon before, so Landon was ready to help her land her first one.

Once she had it on the shore, she learned how to use the 'fish bopper'.....

And to pop the gills to bleed it out quickly.

Shannon and her first salmon.


Jolene's first two salmon of the year.

Dino enjoyed watching the action, and he was glad to be out of the yard for a little while.
