FISHING WITH THE BROTHER-IN-LAW!

My brother-in-law, Victor, decided to give salmon fishing a try this year. We had talked several times about the big fish, adrenaline rush, and successful trips. With the wives and kids relaxing at home we decided to hit the river.  

After a few days of no rain, the salmon was slow coming up all rivers and creeks flowing into Lake Ontario. We decided to head to my favorite fishing spot to see if any fish came up the night before. After seeing a couple, we decided to head down river to see if we could come across some in the deeper pools along the edges. The three that we came across were spooked and there was no luck there. We continued walking until we came across an area with deeper water and several other fisherman having some better luck. We decided to give this fishing hole at try. After 2 hrs of fishing, we still had no fish to our name. Meanwhile our "friends" from NJ fishing next to us were hammering them like crazy. After getting some tips and pointers from them we slightly modified our technique and soon enough we hooked a couple each but couldn't land nigher one. Victor hooked one really well and with our friends help we landed a large salmon. We continued to fish but without any luck. We decided to make the mile long trek back to the car and then find a cleaning station to get it all cleaned and filleted. I was happy that we didn't go home empty handed.

Congratulations Victor on your first salmon!
