It's salmon run season on the Klamth River (NorCal near Yuba City area) and Dad has been out there giving 'em hell with his long time friend Ray, pictured left, a pro fishing guide. Fishing excursions are usually held in Bodega Bay but this was a special occasion not open to the common people. In fact a tradition each year for Dad. I joined him once a few years ago. They are serious about their fishing in this place, the men line up along the river and will get into a fist fight over their spot And sometimes steal each others fish! Amazingly we caught giant salmon using beads on a string. The rumors are true there are so many you see 10,15,20 pounders swimming by your feet as you stand in the river.The point of this story is there is a package of fresh smoked wild salmon in the mail for ME. No one does it like Dad.
