The catching was slow but the fishing was great. We had incredibly
nice weather for early November, bright and sunny and in the mid-50's
each afternoon. Which is why the catching was slow, but no matter
it was good to be on a river waving a fly rod.

The Pere Marquette had a very nice salmon run this year and I didn't
need to read the fly shop braggadocio to figure that out. There were
still salmon corpses everywhere. And Kaylin rolled around in every
goddamn one of them. Why do dogs *do* that ? Ohmigawd, the stench
was, and to an extent still is, awful.

Any suggestions for getting the smell of dead salmon out of a dog's
fur ? Anybody want to make an offer on an 18 month-old yellow Lab ? ;-)

Ken,
You may already know this, but you really need to be careful with dogs
around dead salmon. If they eat any, they can get a very nasty
parasite that will really make them sick. At least that's the case
with Pacific Salmon - may not apply to Great Lakes Salmon, but it
would be worth checking with a vet.
