So it made perfect sense to grab a friend and plan a day of fishing.A quick pooling of our finances showed that getting out of town and renting a canoe as we'd originally hoped to do just wasn't going to happen.
We grumbled for a bit about the soulless gas-guzzling society we live in while lamenting the fact that we couldn't afford to guzzle our own share. Then we decided to hit a few local lakes instead.

For boatless folks like us that had no urge to combat fish in the last days of the Ship Creek king salmon fishery, this was perfect.
