The sun came out full fledged today. So I opted to spend my time on the water, in my boat, fishing salmon. Dip netting is not the most efficient way to catch fish on a river delta, but our laws are tight now-a-days are currently drift nets are restricted. So dip netting it is. The river was glass calm today and I was very happy to be out and about atop of the waters. The salmon were few though. And our first day of the season brought us only 3 fish. We gave two to friends around the village and kept one for dinner (and a snack for the dogs). It was a good way to spend the day, but didn't end with quite the catch I was hoping for. Perhaps we'll be able to fill our smokehouse in a few days, when the river is fuller of fins and scales than it is now.
