Ron Ellingson and Neil Blade from Missoula went salmon fishing with the Captain on Friday and Saturday on Fort Peck.

It was a grind on Friday.  After 10 hours of fishing, they boated their first salmon and 45 minutes later the second.

Saturday was not as good. The grumpy old men only had a few lakers to boast about then.

This was their first real trip to Fort Peck for salmon trolling.  They caught some in the bay two years ago.

Congratulations, Ron and Neil!
