The sun peeks through the clouds. The river flows gently. A boat drifts quietly. Fishermen cast their lines. The water ripples. A fish jumps nearby. The air is crisp. Trees line the shore. Birds chirp in the distance. Anticipation builds. A rod bends suddenly. The fight begins. The reel sings. A silver flash beneath the surface. The net is ready. A beautiful Coho is landed. Smiles all around. Another cast. The day continues. Memories are made. Nature's beauty surrounds.
