A Day At The River

We spent Tuesday at the Nechako River 

Riverside nap

Will got to give fishing a try for the first time in PG

The island we set up for the day on looks like it goes under water at different times of the year and the beach was leaning much more towards a riverbed rather than a beach and the large rocks made it difficult for Clara to walk around. Thankfully she was happy to park herself in one spot and make the most of her surroundings from there. 

We played a lot on the shallow side of the island, making pools, streams, and waterfalls in the water there. 

I told Will that I haven't been to many rivers in my life, but I think the Nechako is my favourite. 

Along with all the fish guts along the shore we found some weird looking bugs 

Google told me this is called a stonefly. They were pretty creepy looking, sort of scorpion-esque. 

The kids found a sack of salmon eggs that had been gutted from a fish and that's what they are examining now here. 

We were unsuccessful in the catching fish department, but had a lovely day otherwise!
