Andrew got his salmon limit today

I had to go to work today, but Andrew got down to the river and had his line in at 4:14am. Within about an hour he had caught two beautiful 15 pounders. I'm going out tomorrow morning. Hope it is a good biting day!!!!

Salmon are running

The Icicle River opened for salmon a couple of weeks ago. My foot is healed enough now (but I'm still in the boot for two more weeks) that I can maneuver down to the edge. My friend, Cindy who I've known almost my entire life, and I met at the river this morning at 4am. Lines in the water at 4:07 am. Not a bite, not a roll or a jump. But it was a beautiful day, so it wasn't a bust. I'll make another go of it tomorrow night.

Black Bear

Thursday night right after dinner, we had a black bear stroll onto the yard. We stood out on the deck and watched it watch us. He hung around for about 15 seconds and then, took off like a shot over the hill. Those bears can run really fast. I guess I'll be packing heat when I'm outside now. Never know when I'll get company.
