This Friday was the last day of trout season, and we both took a day off for fishing. We really didn't have good luck catching any fish on Apple Creek. We could see a few salmon swimming under water. Nothing was hitting on either spinners or crawlers. The weather was gorgeous. Our pasty lunch was very enjoyable. Later we moved to another spot and had a little more action. We kept on going upstream, hoping to catch that last big one, and explored the stretch of river Joe hadn't fished for a long time. There I actually caught a few nice rainbow and brown trout. It was a good way for me to finish the season, remembering how it felt to catch a fish. Exciting! Fall color was also starting to emerge. Thank you, Fish God, for watching over us during this season.
Joe expressed his love for me by spending an hour cleaning salmon roe after catching a female salmon last week. It is a tedious job.
I marinated the roe in sweet soy seasonings, then served it with avocado slices over rice. Yummy. Once Joe passed its funny texture, he enjoyed his meal, I think.
Lastly, we are getting our roof worked on right now. It needed new shingles put on for a few years. The part that's done (upper and above bay windows in the picture) looks very nice, doesn't it? It feels good to have this one big job done before winter for sure. We'll see if our guy can finish it all before we take off for Japan this Friday.
