Today we decided to fish in the river channel from the sand bar. We had to get an early start to beat the boats which go up and down the channel. Since we don’t fish again with our guide John until Wednesday, we are bank fishers. Seven-thirty seemed like a good time. Rods, chair and coffee in hand we have high hopes of catching a big salmon before the professionals arrive.
Tom was the first to get a bite! Yikes, not exactly what we were hoping for!
Another bite and another hatchery salmon. So this is how it’s going to be. Now it was my turn and I caught 2 as well.
We caught 7 in all before the boats arrived in mass.
Time for us to go. It was not a lost day at all. Tom got to watch his college team, Oklahoma State University win their first game. (I think maybe he planned that all along).
It was a perfect day temperature wise. If you ever find yourself in “hot water”, I hope it’s a hot tub!
After we watched the Dallas Stars win the first game of the Stanley Cup finals, we thought we might try a little evening fishing. Again loaded (a little less gear this time) off to try again.
The Blue Heron and the seals would love for us to provide a fish or 2 for them.
They were out of luck and so were we.
I took a few scenery pictures and we decided to call it a day.
