Salmon Fishing

Today I did my schoolwork in the morning and around lunch time went to a fish ladder.  A fish ladder is a small chute of water that is always running that lets fish go through a dam.  It is mainly for salmon during the salmon run.  The salmon run is going on now and we got to see the salmon go through the fish ladder.  The fish had to be really strong to swim through all of that current!  After that we went on the other side of the dam and watched the fishermen try to catch fish.  Then we decided to try to fish too!  We tried for about three hours with only a nibble.  Next time I hope we will have better luck!  Tomorrow we are going to be in Washington state.
