Jacquie's First Fish

We have had the awesome opportunity to go out Arctic Char fishing 3 or 4 times now.  We go out near the mouth of Sylvia Grinell River and fish along the river bank.  We were out last Monday (July 9, 2012) fishing and Jacquie caught a one pound Char. 

It was kind of funny.  On our previous fishing expedition, we had caught each others lines and at that time, she thought she had a fish and got quite excited, only to be faced with the disapointment that she had only caught me.  So, on this trip, she casually said, "I caught you again".  And I said, "you can catch me anytime and if  I'm a little too fast I'll slow down........... however you didn't catch my line because it's not out in the water".  That's when she got quite excited and brought in her very first fish.....ever!

Although we stayed for a little while after catching her fish, we didn't catch any more.  We did go home though and filleted the fish and ate it for lunch.  It was fantastic!  Thanks for lunch J!!!
