Weather looks good.
The first picture your daughter is wearing what we call a swandri.
Standard fare down here.

Actually,she stole it from me that morning as she was chilled.That's my standard outfit.Around here they're known as a doe skin jacket(why I don't know but that's what we've always called them)
They were the standard red plaid hunting jacket years ago before blaze orange came around.
Interestingly,many have laughed at my choice of fashion over the years(I have many of the same thing in shirts) but the last couple years they have become stylish here.I knew if I waited long enough....

Oneal was selling red plaid gear last year and I thought about it but really didn't need new gear.

We call that a lumberjack jacket up here or a Timmins (small town up north) tuxedo. Everybody has at least one, and even women wear them as work jackets.

Now Ford,while I realize your daughter is holding a typical Atlantic Canada fresh water fish,if you ever have the urge to catch something slightly bigger come to British Columbia.

Nice fish! I didn't even get my fishing license this year. My back was really bad earlier in the year and now I am in "archery mode" as my wife calls. Been shooting both the Bear Element compound and my take down recurve because depending on how my back feels that day will depend on which bow I use so I want to stay proficient with both bows.

Sturgeon are bottom feeders and siphon everything off of the bottom of the larger rivers here in the Pacific N.W..While they are now a protected species I've been told sturgeon are very tasty.

My first time out fishing was the May long weekend.I spent the morning scouting out an old racing area on my 500 Maico and then caught three nice rainbows in the afternoon spincasting with a lure and light tackle.

I should also add that about 10km downstream from where that sturgeon was caught in the 1940's an even bigger one was caught. The guy used his Ford pickup to pull it out of the river.

Well Sachs,it would appear your choice of fish mirrors your choice of motorcycle.What was it you said a Sturgeon was again?

I'm partial to steelhead trout myself.

SachsGS - About 25 years ago there was a kid I went to school with (he was kind of slow...) who called himself the Harbormaster of the river that is the border between Maine and New Hampshire about 15 miles up from the coast. He caught a 14 foot, 800+ pound sturgeon using gill nets, dragged it out with his truck, and beat it to death with a hammer. Next thing he did was call the local papers and told them he caught a sea monster!! They came down, took a lot of pictures, but unfortunately, so did the game wardens.... He got a huge fine, didn't even have a fishing license. It was estimated to be about 100 years old, and had a few dozen pounds of roe that would have been worth thousands of dollars. What a moron....

The Fraser river, here in British Columbia, is "kind of" divided into two by the Fraser Canyon which is a rapid filled,treacherous section of water. The monster sturgeon, like the one the guy caught, live in the lower section and can be caught basically right on the Vancouver water front. Upstream of the canyon a different sub species of sturgeon live and these are also excellent to catch.
