fisherwoman

most of you

probably don't know

that in the wee years of my life

with a river in my backyard
we even had a lil island

that you could fish off

i believe it was a

white snoopy push button pole

that served me well

i later found out that

a fish hatchery dumped fish

into the river

which upped my odds

in catching

but i had no problem

putting bait

and cleaning fish

when i was a little girl

well times have changed

i don't like putting worms on hooks

because i feel bad

and i won't kill the fish

but new outfits

help the processno i'm not pregnant

and no one looks good in waders

ok?

then we moved from OR to AZ

where i had a lake 10 minutes from my house

needless to say

i heart water

and still wear a wave ring

that i got from with my sister 10 years

because i love water

back to fishing...

so last time i went fishing

was either in nebraska

with leslie

or making out with my high school boyfriend

when the fish weren't biting

so...

i got here to alaska tuesday

and kaye and jared

were ready to boogie that night

to go camping

me and ty ty

jared and i fished the next day

and the day afterlook at my determined facecombat fishing

he's MUCH better than i'll ever be

so salmon are starting to run upstream

they're not crazy yet

but they're coming...

hopefully by the time my dad gets here

they'll be in full force

fishing results

day one

jared wondered

how many times

i could get my line snagged

o.k. actually

he was really patient

and i was the frustrated one

re-doing my line

with new flies

and weighs

i don't know how many times

day one count

jared: three
