Old Past times of snagging Salmon

Hello,

Recently I found myself walking through Port Washington with my dog Lars. He usually is the first one to find the comotion or focus in on the main activity. We walked down by the docks and runs and it was time for the Salmon to make their incredible run up steam to allow production of their species, as they have for what we know as millions.

The elder men all line up with a frozen spawn sac and if the hungry Salmon bites it he is snagged into the air and his journey is incomplete.

When I first cameto this place about ten years ago I had the mis fortune of getting hit by a spawn sac. It must weigh about 3 pounds. I stood up after it knocked me down. I thought some kid through a rock at me. It was a spawn sac.

I really do not go out of my way to admit such a thing.

JUst another way of Mother Nature keeping track of everythings biological clock.

Thank You
