Paddlin' the Brule with Becky

The weekend of July 28-29, John's sister Becky came to visit us, and we all went canoing/kayaking on the Brule River. We expect that soon Becky will buy her own kayak and begin training for the world championships in whitewater kayaking.

Hot, still day on the Brule


Not much luck fishing...though we saw a lot of fish since the water was so low and clear


Ouch. For the first time in all the years I've been fishing, I got a hook imbedded in my finger. Luckily, Becky put her training as a medic to good use and quickly rectified the situation. Thanks Becky!

Beth,

How did you do this anyway?

you mean get a hook in her finger? She was fishing in the front seat and got the line hung up in the guides. She passed the rod tip back to me, I was clearing the line and I picked up the slack not realizing where the hook was. Partially my fault.
