It Is Time To Go Fishing
It is that time of the season, time to do a little fishing. It appears that this Bald Eagle could not find a salmon in the river, but he nabbed a nice little Skunk to munch on until the salmon start arriving in larger numbers.
This weekend is the International King Salmon Calcutta Tournament, I will do the auction on Friday night at the banquet and then the derby will be on Saturday. The marine fishery has been producing well for feeders with a few spawners starting to show up.
The Anchor River will open up on the weekend of May 20th for the first weekend. You can expect some high dirty water the first weekend, there is still a lot of snow to melt off in the back country. The Anchor River will be open for five weekends again this year so we should find some great fishing. That is your sport fishing report for today, have a good day on the water and good luck with you fishing. After fifteen years, that will be likely the last time you here that sign off tag line.
The current status of the campground is that the water level is declining, most of the run off has already occurred. Now all we need is several good days of sun, a little wind and we should be ready to set up. If that does not happen, Brit and Noe will have a larger area to "mud wrestle", I missed that event last year. It has to be replayed again this year if we have to make a "pit" for them. Can we take side bets and make this a real match, say the best out of three falls? If they do wrestle, I think "Homer" should dress up like a Suma (sic)wrestler and let the girls think that the winner of their match will have to wrestle "Homer Yamaha". Looking forward to all the festivities, it should be fun.
Update on the "multi-purpose" building, the custom designed door arrives tomorrow, a little trim work inside and then install the seats, the perch has been completed. I still need to install several "unique novelty" items but we won't go into those details, you will find out soon enough! Speaking of that, on our (?) trip to LA on the 17th and 18th, if anyone knows where they can get a bunch of Styrofoam packing peanuts, I need about one hundred pounds for a special project. For those "handicrafters", I also need a head made out of a flesh colored nylon stocking or support hose with a short haired wig. Don't ask and I won't tell! So much to do, so little time. Have a good day and let's hope the sun shines.
