Black River

Last week Mitchell and Brent went on a fishing trip to Black River with my five brothers and one of my brother-in-law's. The trip started early Thursday morning with a long drive to the San Carlos Indian Reservation. The road is very rugged so they drove as far as the could. The rest of the trip down to the river and to their fishing spot was done on foot carrying all of their supplies in a back pack. I am told that this was a good 3 mile hike. From this point on until Saturday afternoon, all they did was fish, watch out for bears, gut fish, watch out for snakes, eat fish, and sleep. They had a great time!
Mitchell's big catch of the trip.
Brent has a lot of gear at his disposal and a little fish.
Daniel and Michael caught some pretty good sized fish.

Jacob had the largest catch.
One of the rattlesnakes on the trip. Watch out!
Joe is gutting his fish on the rocks. I guess he's not worried about sanitary conditions for food preparations!

Mitchell is just following Joe's lead to gut fish on the rocks. I'm sure he would be happy to come to your house and make a meal on the ground in the backyard!

Nice pics. I wish I would have sent a camera with Bob to get a pic of his catch. It looks like so much fun. I am glad they didn't see any bears.
