Salt Pond News, Gossip, Warnings and Whispers
Sliding my kayak into the pond, a moderately early arrival earned me first crack at a new day’s news. The pond was alight with news, gossip, warnings and whispers. A three mile per hour breeze carried news from an oyster catcher that my arrival near a small point with shallow water was the cause of some concern. She raised wings of alarm and moved along, although only to a salty maple branch some fifty feet north. Good soldiers keep steady eyes on visitors.

Thirsty For Pulaski’s Salmon River
Thirsty For Pulaski’s Salmon River, we were driven, by a Royale Coach no less, in pursuit of chinook salmon and chasing steelhead. Bob Littlefield drove all the roads where fish might be as I managed his vegan diet and lack of catching any fish. But we travelled in style through upstate New York, meeting people but not fish and savoring some farm cuisine we came so close to catching. It’s a journey, this Pulaski fishing thing.
Pulaski Salmon, For Some
Pulaski Salmon, For Some means there are fish in a pretty river and those in the know will catch some and some will write about the opposite. This was a great trip, casting in God’s country for steelhead and salmon but sometimes, you just don’t catch the fish, even after you found the fish.
