So we had an exciting week! I had to go back up to Fort St James and finish cleaning all the rock work I had done last fall and I decided Ballard and Brody could come along and help me but when Brody found out we would be going to Stuart lake he decided he would HAVE to go fishing, well I explained to him that the boys I had worked with all last year had fished every evening after work and had never caught a fish but he reassured me that he would because he is a good fisher person
so he gathered his gear and was ready to go at 5:00 am! We arrived there at eight in the morning and he was on the dock at eight fifteen and fished till lunchtime and had caught nothing! We went in the house and had some lunch and all of a sudden Brody had an idea! We had packed some smoked salmon for lunch so he grabbed the skin and headed back to the dock he decided to use the salmon skin as bait and soon had his line back in the water, we were all still visiting and eating when all of a sudden one of the guys I work with said he thought Brody had something we all looked out the window and sure enough his rod was bent clean over! Ballard ran down to the dock while we all watched from the house in amazement as they pulled a seven pound lake trout up and out onto the dock all the guys I work with were cheering and needless to say it will be a day Brody will never forget it just goes to show you if at first you don't succeed try try again or in this case use salmon skin as bait!

Dear Brody,
That is so cool that you caught a fish. And, a big, huge, one to boot. That was a great idea to use salmon skin. Sure love you,
Auntie Koe
