Fishing
Edsel was in love with fishing. He spent most of his summer days fishing
in Lobster Creek, and John’s Hole. The first salmon he caught was twenty
pounds and was almost as long as he was tall; he was only 7. He had
caught the salmon in John’s Hole, which was a couple miles upriver from
Gold Beach. Edsel and his dad went to Mill Creek Slough to fish for
steelhead once. The river was warm, but the creek was cold, so the
steelhead would just swim around waiting to be caught. He and his dad
caught a steelhead on every cast that day. They fished until they were
tired, and then rowed back to shore.
