The sun rose over the Montesano river. Mist clung to the water's surface. The boat engine hummed softly. Rods were set. Lines dipped into the current. Anticipation filled the air. A sudden tug. A flash of silver. The reel screamed. The rod bent. A sockeye salmon leapt from the water. Its scales glistened in the morning light. The fight was on. Hearts raced. Muscles strained. Finally the net. Success. Smiles all around. Another day on the river. Another memory made.
