The Fishing is "Obscene"
Posted 14 July 2011, 6:51 am NDT
When I asked one of the guests how the fishing was he replied "It's Obscene".
Fish were seen jumping all over the river. Nelson told me that he saw one large salmon jump that he estimated close to the 30 lb (13.5 kg) range. He described the splash made by the fish as similar to "throwing a chair in the river. Water went everywhere."
We all congratulated Nelson on the arrival of he new grandson.
The River continues to rise, and the forecast is calling for the temperatures will do the same. After 3 days of single digit temperatures we are all looking forward to a change in the weather.
As their trip draws to a close, our guests are eager to begin their last day of fishing. I'm sure that they will have great success again; and next week's guests are sure to have an experience at least as good, and maybe even better as the moon becomes full.
