Part two!!

part 2!
as I was saying we woke up at 7:00 Am to set net, we left it in for 5 and a half hours and after we put the net into the water we went back up to the cabin and continued to cut enacaga ( dry fish ) three hours passed and we just finished cutting up the fish and hanging them on poles and racks, after we were done hanging them we sat down and relaxed after 3 hours of working hard to cut fish. two hours passed and we went and checked the net down in our fishing hole in Tahltan and ended up down there for another 2 hours of working on fish!! but either way I still enjoyed family time. after we were done pulling net we ended up with over 20 salmon fish in the net. so we left the fishing hole and went up to our cabin and hung the fish in our fish house, on Nails we use for hooks to hang the fish on. after that we all went and had a family dinner at my great grandmas cabin for my grandpas 56th birthday,  we all had cake and spent the evening with my grandpa telling old stories and talking about life!!

story about King Salmon

here's a story about the King Salmon.
well, last summer we set our net down in our fishing hole one day, after we were done setting it we went up to our cabin to start cutting enacoga in our language it is used as another word for dry fish. any way, we started cutting enacoga, maybe 30 minutes we finished cutting 20 fish and my grandpa told us to pack up our fishing stuff because we had to rush down to our fishing hole to check our net! so we gathered everything up and got into the back of his pick up truck and rushed down there. so maybe 10 minuets of driving we finally arrived and got to the fishing hole and we looked down at our net and it was underneath the water the bobbers and everything!. my grandpa yelled!! "You kids! were going to be down here a while!! look at the net!!" so we jumped out of the truck and got down to the net and started pulling it out, we seen 7 King Salmon's and 19 salmon. all together our net held 26 fish! and non were able to get away, so we stayed down there for maybe 3 hours gutting & washing. after we were done my grandpa was so happy to be done and to go to our cabin an eat dinner. we were exhausted after that big pull we ended up sleeping at 9:00 pm. the next morning we woke up at 7:00 Am and set the net again.  (stay tuned for PART 2, for this story)
