Tyler and his dolly varden.

Really, I didn't eat any licorice!
This morning we got up at 4:20 and drove to Bing's landing on the middle section of the Kenai River. The outside air temperature was 37 F which wasn't so bad, but by the end of the 20 minute boat ride we were all pretty chilled. The scenery was gorgeous - casting in a river with the mountains in the background. Tyler was the fisherman of the day. He caught a "grand slam" of rainbow trout, dolly varden, sockeye salmon, and silver salmon. We brought home 5 nice sockeye and one silver. The only catastrophe was somehow Randy was so engrossed in fishing, he missed out on the whole bag of licorice.
We were home by noon for lunch and nap. The day was finished off by Coach Ron running Tyler and Ron through an extensive conditioning workout, a trip through South Soldotna, and we went for kicking practice while Randy and Grandpa went shopping. Supper was another fantastic salad along with grilled corn on the cob and grilled Reindeer Brats.
Tomorrow the boys are flying in to a native river for silvers and the old men are going in a float boat down a different river.

Hmmm... if you're going in two different directions, who gets to take the camera? Your readers want to see both outings. Great job on your grand slam of fish, Tyler! I love the mist on the water in your photos. Keep up the blogging. I almost feel like I'm there (but I'm warmer and not wearing rain gear).
