A fishy story

This accidentally got left off of yesterday's blog. It turns out that the fish here seem to like just about anything red. The red eggs we used trout fishing were wildly popular. As we were packing up to leave Crescent Creek yesterday, Ken decided to see if they would go for cherry pie filling (from his prepackaged pie he was eating). He plopped a hunk of cherry in the creek and sure enough, a little trout came and gobbled it up. Followed promptly by a big ugly salmon. We promptly grabbed the fishing rules to see if it was legal to fish salmon in that particular creek. It wasn't, so we had to be content with watching him eat cherry filling!

And happy news this morning. Another box has arrived at the post office in Kasilof! Hopefully it's the highbanker and then we'll only have to rent a pump from Joe.

It also turned out that the bore tide schedule we had was wrong. The best bore tide was Tuesday, not Wednesday, but there are several good ones between now and Saturday, so Sarah is definitely going to see one before she leaves.
