Eric took the boys fishing on the Eklutna River bright and early Saturday morning. I wasn't going to fish (we aren't considered residents until we've lived here for a year, and the non-resident annual license fee is ridiculous) and I needed my beauty sleep, so I drove out to meet them a little later in the morning. The river is about a 45 minute drive toward Palmer and the drive was BEAUTIFUL! There must be a bit milder climate just a short distance out of Anchorage, because everything was already so green and lush! We're just starting to get a little green around here.
Apparantly, because we've had such a late start to our Spring, the salmon haven't quite started their infamous "run" yet. There weren't too many people out fishing at our spot on Saturday, but out of the ones that were, nobody caught a thing! The boys were patient and enjoyed casting, but their treasures came up short. By the time I arrived, the boys had been fishing for several hours to no avail and the little ones were ready for some carb intake. Below, you will see a vast difference between how dad fishes...
and how the boys fish (NOTE: Grandpa, close your eyes)....
In the end, a good time was had by all!
