Caught a 9lb spring and a 900 lb tree
Afternoon,
A short fish story for you. went fishing saturday morn and our first set we caught a 80lb sturgeon, he cut my hands pretty good as i looked over and saw the gloves i was supposed to be wearing . As we began to pull in net a fish hit it and got snagged good. we pulled it up and there was our supper, a nice fresh 9 lb spring salmon or as some call them: smilees, cause you can’t stop smiling when you catch them. Next set was the end of our day as we pulled up a dead head that i could barely get out of the water. we had to cut 9 fathoms of our net. Went home and sulked. ate fish. smiled.
I am in the process of working on another blog, one for the National Arts Center and i was hoping to get some ideas or perhaps some feedback as to what i might talk about. more dumb fish stories? or perhaps discussion on how a native writer can go from page to stage. which is as some of us already know, is not that easy…
anyways, any feedback or better fish tales than mine would be helpful. I hope everyone is doing well. Here i look forward to my holidays and August when the real fishing begins and my net will be dancing with hundreds of sockeyes and all the trees will be gone from the fraser river.
