Yellow Perch- Willamette River- Sept.24
A momentous day- a yellow perch- and a chance meeting with a Knight of the Round Table- "Dartanion" a fellow fisherman aboard the "Poppy"- a camoflage painted Sevylor kayak and his Mexican Chihuahua adorned in a gilded orange ribbon of flagging tape- snuggled on his lap . "D" and I talked over an array of subjects while drifting in the wind, I shared nightcrawlers with him, and we talked fishing from Shasta Lake to River Road slew, I learned that dirt on ones hands is healthy- especially for cuts- and earthworm slime is healing..."D" was good company on cool rain kissed day near the "Globe" at Salem's Riverside Park; a kindred fisher.
Redside Shiner- Willamette River Sept. 24
This fish has character- a female redside shiner- who masqueraded as a chub until I figured out what she really was. The ident took books, the internet, and turns out to be a common specie in the Willamette River. A vintage 32 ft Chris Craft sat on the bottom of the slew near my fishing site. I imagined the fun had on the boat in its youth...hoola hoops, bikinis, coppertone, high times. It was broken and silted, no windows...teak railings indistinguishable. Kind of a sad sight...
