Reaping the Bounty

While the river waters were down, the fishing was up.

Here are Ethan and Ehren with one of the four-pound Northern Pike caught today.

The fish were concentrated into a significantly-reduced volume of water, and the boat launch was closed.  If you were fishing from the banks or if you were creative enough to get a small boat into the water, the bounty was yours for the taking.

Ethan had ample opportunity to practice his newly acquired skill: filleting fish.  He's pretty talented for a guy who just turned ten.
