Back out on the water after a couple of days. Weather has been shit and windy. Just 1 Kokanee. Had another bite that hit really hard. I think it was a rainbow, but he spit as soon as I went to set.

My friend came up from the coast. I've known him since we were 5 years old. Haven't seen him since grade 12 in 2003. He caught his first Kokanee.

Got up early this morning and fished a couple of hours. It's the last day of my 30s, so I'm going to enjoy it today. Have a friend I've known since we were 5 coming up for the weekend.
