Fresh Alaskan salmon

Friday morning Dad took us out fishing on the river. It was a beautiful morning and we had a great time. We saw a bald eagle flying and then resting on the top of a tall pine tree. The water was clear and we could see all of the salmon rushing up the river. I didn't take my camera with me, but I did get some good pictures when James and Brooke took Miles, Ian and me up the river a couple of days ago.


Miles and Ian are eager and ready to catch fish.

It was a beautiful day out on the river.

James was our intrepid captain, steering us clear from dangerous sandbars.

Here's Ian reeling in a beautiful silver salmon.

Brooke was the first one to catch a fish and the first one to catch her limit. She is quite the fisherwoman!
We grilled up some fresh salmon that we caught yesterday and it was delicious. I'm afraid that being up here is turning us into fish snobs. If it's not fresh, wild Alaskan salmon it just isn't good enough.
