The days are getting longer and we are currently experiencing nice weather - sunny, low 50's (and a little windy). Daylight today is: 18 hours, 22 minutes and 12 seconds. Mary was heard to say today at 5am - there is so much light in the room already. I have made a couple of my ritual afternoon trips to the small boat harbor to check out the fishing haul. The halibit are still small and the boats are coming in later than usual but it is a nice way to pass some time. I am waiting patiently for the Sockeyes to come in - should be any day!
Mary and I took a flyfishing class last weekend. We spent the weekend at a lodge in Sterling (just outside of Soldotna) where the class was held. We learned all the basics of flyfishing - rod, reels, fishing line (hollow), fishing leaders (tappered), the basics of casting, and types of flies. My brain was full by Sunday afternoon.

The river is currently closed so that fish can spawn. So we practiced casting in a park next to the river. I can hardly wait until June 11 when the river opens again.
This the view from the lodge - it is on Longmere Lake
