I’m 70 and have done lots of things in my life – big and small. But I’ve never gone salmon fishing on the Great Lakes and today, for the 1st time, I’m getting to do that. I wrote this last night and have no idea what to expect – we chartered a boat with a guide and now we’re off to see the Wizard. I went fishing as a kid on the St. Lawrence Seaway, and I once went fly fishing on the Colorado River – I don’t remember much on those trips. And I fish the lakes here in the Adirondacks but what I do should not be considered fishing – my 9-year-old granddaughter catches more fish than I do. But after friends brought back lake trout and salmon from Lake Ontario last summer, I decided it’s time I do this … because you only live once, and if you do it right, once is enough. Call it a bucket list or just an old man’s wish, this should go into making once enough. Everybody needs a bucket list to keep track of the things they want to do. Sit down and either start one or add to yours today.
