But I'm feeling MUCH better now. %-)

I'v never had the honor of fishing for salmon. But I can't imagine
it's any more fun than fishing for wild trout in the mountains of North
Carolina. That's where I went in early July, and while I've caught
bigger fish elsewhere, I've never fished in such pretty surroundings:

Very pretty. The UP is pretty too. First time I took my ex fishing she
caught a 26 3/4" large mouth. Had to let it go though, out of season.
That may have contributed to my divorce. 5-( Out in wolf Lake, they
had HUGE trout, immense, bass sized. Hand fishing for tuna off a rubber
ducky out in Guam was fun to. BIG fish. Can you say sashimi?
