At the end of our first week in Togiak, our friends the Olsen's invited us out for a boat ride up the Togiak River to catch some silver salmon. It was an ideal evening, not a cloud in the sky. Here is a view up river. I love it that we have jagged mountains on the horizon in Togiak - even if they are distant.
Our friend, Justin, is an Alaskan resident and can net salmon for subsistence. The net was thrown out on the water and within minutes, the little buoys started to bounce as salmon hit the net. The first two casts yielded 7 large silver salmon each. Joseph and Josh got pretty excited when the salmon came aboard flipping around in the bottom of the boat.
After the third cast only brought up 1 fish we decided it was time to head for home.
