Took my cousin Amy, in town from Portland, fishing yesterday. We went to my fish processor, where the fishing families were shipping orders from their recent gillnet harvest on the Taku River. Amy bought 40 lbs of fish, which had already been expertly dressed and deheaded on board the fishing boats. We took these home, where I filleted and Amy portioned the fish. She then loaded them into the vacuum pack bags, and I did the vacuum packing. More fun than not catching fish with me in the rain, for sure.
