Playing Hook-ie

Sunday we played 'hook-ie'.  We got up early and drove two hours to Bing's Landing on the Kenai river.  When we left Anchorage there were hanging black clouds and we wondered what the kind of day we would have.  As we made our way south, to the landing, the weather began to clear.  Just as the sun came up a fat black bear with two fat cubs crossed the road in front of us.  When we arrived at Bing's, we met our favorite young fishing guide, Jake.  

There is nothing like fishing to clear your mind and remind you that the simple times in life are the dearest.  Although it was cold all day, the sun came out and catching huge rainbows takes the edge off the cold.  We caught big fish all day long!  We left the river tired, cold and very satisfied.  We had a huge surpise when we came home.  Everything on the hillside was draped in snow!  I am posting some pics so you can see the fish, the leaves, and the snow.
