it's a beautiful day. let's go fishing
it didn't take much convincing to get everybody out on the water
at this end of Leirfjorden there are three small rivers emptying into the fjord. the fish can be anywhere in the fjord but a good place to start fishing for them is where the nutrient-rich fresh water flows into it.
we come in close to shore, turn off the motor and drop the lines just above the bottom.
the camera automatically finds this mountain. i can't figure out why.
out in the middle of the fjord we change tactics, pick up a little speed and keep the bait shallow.
before long we get company keeping a sharp eye on whatever we catch..
over by the opposite shore
the other evening i saw this shack and boat from the road but couldn't get up close
i realize not everybody finds this kind of thing attractive but to me it has far more character and authentic charm than many of the pretentious fiberglass yachts that frequent our area in the summer
the shack's roof is missing a metal sheet so i thought a lot of water had come in and it must be in bad shape inside. but i was reassured to see the owners had taken such care to patch it with some asphalt roofing. 😉
back to land, @hindavi is showing off a mackerel and a codfish we will enjoy for dinner.
