The sun peeked through clouds as we set out on the river. Our boat glided smoothly over the water. The air was crisp and filled with anticipation. We cast our lines and waited. Suddenly a tug. The fight was on. A silver flash broke the surface. A coho salmon thrashed and jumped. We reeled carefully. The net dipped. Success. We admired our catch. A perfect specimen. The day was just beginning. More adventures awaited us on this salmon safari.
