FISH ON

Well we all went dip netting on fish creek on Wednesday. Dipnetting is where you take a big net on an extension pole and dip it into the water and then the salmon swims in and you pull it into the boat. It is easy and fun. This was Tre and Cali's first time fishing in Alaska. Tre caught the first red. Cali was really good at getting the fish too. She was the good luck charm. Every time I got one it was a silver and you couldn't keep silvers so I had to throw them back. We got a subsistence permit where our family could catch 65 reds a type of salmon. But so far we only have 10, we might go try again on Saturday. This river has not been open to fish in 10 years. It was so much fun. The bonus part was that we got fish to take home and eat. We love eating salmon and halibut. We may get to go fish for Halibut next weekend out of Seward Alaska. We hope to also go and take our fishing poles out and catch some of those silvers we had to throw back. What a way to end our summer vacation. That wasn't the end the next few weeks we drove up to Montana Creek and Willow creek and fished. The picture is showing the Pinks the kids caught on the Willow creek. Then we fished montana creek but we were not lucky we just lost hooks, no fish.
