Gone Fishin!
Headed back to my native country for a few months. Here's a picture of my brother on his boat holding a wee minnow. I'll be thinking of you guys as I enjoy the summer just fishin.

Are you going to put it on a 4 or 5 gang hook?
I must admit I prefer using live bait, but you might get something with it!
Cheers,

This King Salmon weighed about 20 kilograms. It was one of many he caught over a three week period as he travelled through the Inside Passage from Glacier Bay, Alaska to Vancouver, B.C. He liked to use relatively light salmon tackle (you can see a single hook with no barb, and a light fishing rod lying over the transom of his trawler). He told me he had so much salmon, that he didn't think he could eat another salmon dinner again.
He left for the same return trip from Vancouver just a week ago, and I hope to catch up with him in two months on his return journey. Hope I catch a minnow half as large.

What's that grey stuff in the background behind your brother? It looks a bit like ocean but it's the wrong colour!

Actually, it's quite deceptive. Oceans tend to reflect the colour of the sky. A grey cloud cover makes the water look much greyer than it is. Although northern ocean waters are rich with plankton, they are remarkably clear. On a sunny day, sunlight easily penetrates down 7 - 10 fathoms.

Don,
That is a remarkably realistic carving of a salmon that your brother did; it looks just like the real thing, only three times the size of course.
Have a good trip. By the way, Lee Valley is pretty close to the airport in Vancouver

Of course Lee Valley Tools is already on my agenda. Taking an empty suitcase just for that reason.

Actually, he's 5 years younger than I am. He also is maturing far beyond his years. And just for the record, my sister is 11 years younger and she too, looks like she must be 50 :confused: Go figure!

If you swivel your eyes slightly to the left and up a bit, you will see that you have stated your age as 18 years. Now if your sister is 11 years younger than you this would make her current age 7. Any 7 year old who looks as though they are 50 is in deep . Very few youths of 13 years actually look as old as your (younger) brother's appears to be.

Scientists are about to release into a select few lakes in close proximity of Denver an amazing development in piscatorial research.
This amazing trout (Onchorynchus Haselti) known as the Red Trout exudes a small quantity of dye, not unlike the ink from squid, when it feeds.
This happens as a result of the introduction of a hormone into the saliva gland of the Onchorynchus family, Salmo do not respond to this transplant, the hormone which is taken from the squid ink gland and produces a red saliva discharge for the first year of the life of the trout, hence the generic name red trout.
What is more amazing is the ability for this color to change with the maturity of the fish, essentially, the larger (older) the fish the different color saliva discharge.
Marine biologists have long been aware of a change in the enzyme structure of some fresh water fish as they mature, but, were not aware that with the hormonal introduction the color of the ink (dye) would change.
As a result of these findings we now have a trout whose salival output progresses through phases of red, yellow, green and finally blue.
Another aspect with this hormone introduction is that the saliva is extremely viscous and holds together for several seconds in water after discharge from the mouth of the trout.
Being lighter than water it also naturally forms an ever expanding ring upon discharge with the water trying to break through the center and the viscosity holding the structure together, scientists are aware of this process but it is far too complex to explain in detail.
Guides have indicated that they welcome this development as beginners will be able to identify the size and species rising before them simply by identifying the colored ring.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.
