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.
