this weekend we down to the proper-de-de (as Dylan calls it) and partook in the annual spawing of our beautiful NW salmon.  As many of them a dead on the shore you can smell the future fertalizer!

 

This year I did the unthinkable (Ron Sims, please don't yell at me) I caught a live one in a net so the kids could see it up close.  I brought it up on shore long enough for kids to see it and touch it...then I nursed it back into the water where it swam back to join the race to the ultimate finish.

 

Who knows, next year when the kids our out there with their dip net they'll catch this guy's kids?
