Jon and I were so excited to be able to go to my families annual fishing trip down at the Keani River. We had new fishing rods and reels and were ready to catch some salmon. A lot of our family was down at the river for about a week long trip and it was so much fun to see everyone. The first two days the limit was 3 fish each per day and then it went up to 6 fish a day for the remainder of our trip. We ended up with a ton of fish.
We went fishing pretty early each morning and it was earlier and earlier each day to assure that we got the fishing hole that we wanted, by the end of the trip we were getting in the boat at 4 am to go fish.
The kids had a lot of fun playing around the campground, fishing in the boat, making smores and playing with toys in the motorhome. We were really lucky and had great river the entire trip and spent most of our time outside. Kyla even had a salmon on her little barbie fishing pole. We were fishing for trout and Kyla kept catching little tiny fish that you could not even feel bite, so we just kept reeling the line in to see if she had one hooked. I went to reel her line in and through her hook was another fishing line that somebody had lost. I started pulling that line in with my hands to see if it had a lure on it that we would want and there was a good sized salmon on the end of the line. We did not have a fishing net in the boat so the salmon got to go free, but Kyla was super excited!
We now have more than enough Salmon to last us until next year and immediately had to go buy a freezer as soon as we got home to store it all in.
