Hunter and I got out on the Kayak yesterday. The
seas were calm
the salmon were running. We paddled out at a cove where the
foggy sky met the stark sandstone bluffs and lush coniferous forest.
Hunter had a lingcod in the boat in around 5
minutes. foggy sky met the stark sandstone bluffs and lush coniferous forest.
Around mid day I brought a 15-20lbs salmon to within
a foot of the
boat, but he threw the hook at the last moment and we watched his
beautiful metallic silver sheen flash one last time as he blasted back
to the
bottom. All we could do was laugh…we wanted that fish,
but it was pretty darn
cool to have even had the opportunity to
fight and see him. I got two more
lingcod later in the day which had
me pretty stoked by the time we paddled in.
Lingcod
That afternoon, my wife and I gathered up a little
lambsquarter
from a local orchard while my Mom made German potato salad.
Our
dinner was some of the best fried lingcod sandwiches I have
ever tasted. The
added lambsquarter greens were also well
received.
By the way, blackberries, thimbleberries, and other
wild edibles
were also spied on this outing…but more about them later.
Keep the old ways alive!
