Fishing Adventures

John and I are not really fishermen. We occasionally tried to fish while living in Indiana, but never really had much luck. This summer, John was determined to get out and fish at camp, especially after spending the money to buy a fishing license. He finally had the opportunity to go out on the boat with Bob, the master fisherman, one of the last weeks of camp this summer. Bob taught John how to fish for salmon on Lake Mary Ronan, and showed him where to go. That day he caught 3 salmon and a 16" rainbow trout. He was pretty proud of his first real fishing trip.

So after having success the first day, he decided to take me back up to camp and try again. We went out with one of the housedads from the ranch and must have just hit the right place at the right time, because we caught 18 salmon between the 3 of us in only 2 hours. We could have continued catching them, but we had to go in to check the fishing regulations to be sure we weren't going over the daily limit. By the time we got back out, the fish weren't even biting anymore. We fried up the salmon and dozens of perch that the kids and the housedad had caught and had a great dinner.
