Fishing on the Chena River

These are pics of us fishing on the North Fork of the Chena River. It's not just fish, it's us with fish. There's a big difference! :)

I loved the one's with Shayne fishing with Lachlan. If I went fishing it meant Shayne had Lachlan either in his arms or on his back. Such a good daddy!

It was so hot during the day, wet wading was a welcome respite. The water was pretty cold, but after awhile your feet went numb so you couldn't feel it anyway. :) Seriously though, it was so hot it felt good to get in the water. Once again...one of the very few times you can wet wade in Alaska. Most the rivers we fish are glacially fed so they are pretty stinkin' cold!

Shayne also took pics of the dogs, to prove they were with us. They loved this campsite. They had free run of the place, but they are good dogs and stayed close. Except for Bo, who decided to leave the river when we were fishing under the bridge, and run up the bank onto the road to run around. Not a good idea! Needless to say, I nearly skinned him alive!! Ok...he never let me that close, b/c he knew I was pretty ticked at him. Good thing that road doesn't get much traffic. Other than that incident they were great! We were glad we could take them with us.

Lachlan was such a trooper while fishing. He would either just watch what was going on, or fall asleep in the pack. Such a good boy!
