Here's Greg in action!
He landed this fish in less than 5 minutes after casting. Afterwards, we let the salmon go because he was "fresh" and we wanted to give him an opportunity to spawn in case he hadn't done so already. We're nice like that - ha,ha! :-)
Even Scout was impressed - she managed to wake up from her nap on the bridge to give Greg a congratulatory tail wag. After that, it was time for treats! It's hard work guarding the river of course....

Hey Shelley...and Greg! First of all, Happy Anniversary, second of all, what a great fish!!! Makes me jealous, I haven't caught a salmon here in several years, but your pic made my heart stir to cast my flyrod.
I'm glad to see Scout is looking great, and very attentive, she is a real "blog dog" celeb. Takes a great picture.
I hope all is well with you folks.

Scout, you look terrific. I visited a blogger from Scotland earlier who had video of the salmon jumping out of the water. Hope you had a lovely weekend.
That is quite a fish Greg landed. It also looks like he found a beautiful spot in which to fish. I'm glad Scout was guarding the bridge.
Scout looks like she was a big help guarding the bridge and all. She really is quite photogenic!
That is a big salmon!

Great catch! :-)
Scout is such a sweetie.
Nice size salmon!! I love seeing the beautiful colors all around your cabin. And Scout is sure getting big.
Oh my gosh! That is so cool!!!!
That is a really nice little stream. Very picturesque.
That is one gorgeous fish!!! Scout Girl isn't looking bad either Shelley :) She is a beautiful Pupper!!!
Can I just say that Scout is about the best looking dog I've ever seen? Great photos! I want to be there right now!
How much fun! I love seeing photos of the area around your cabin. In your one of your older posts...that dahlia is deelish!
Niiice work, Greg! Looks like he has a death grip on that fish - He surely wants a nice shot from you to remember it later!!! LoL!
Scout is really filling out & she's so beautiful!
Great fish....yummm
do you ever eat them>
That would be a dream to fish for Salmon. We go Trout fishing here in Arkansas. Great photo's
Oh I would have had the grill heating up...
Wow...you guys are the best naturalists ever.
Have I mentioned that I want scout to come live with me? well I do...she has friends here waiting.
Fishing for salmon would suit me just fine. I can't imagine how excited Greg was to catch such a large salmon. As for Scout, I never tire of seeing her pictures. She is looking so good!
Wow! Congrats to Greg! I would not have been as gracious...I would have had that big daddy frying up in the pan that night (burp!). ha
I LOVE salmon!!! you guys have to come up to the U.P. to do some fishing!!
I have 3 boys that would have happily helped, LOL!!
Hope you and Greg had a very Happy Anniversary! Boy, do I love salmon! They really are a pretty kind of fish! Of course, nothing outshines Scout! :)
Wow! Big fish! It was nice of Greg to let him go. We love you scout!!!
We usually catch and release when we fish. Wayne tried a bit of salmon fishing this year near Bellingham but didn't go on a day when they were running. No one was catching much. = Margy
Ooooh LOVE your baby in this picture!!
