Overnight, Spawn Sac Nets Icy Kegger
I’d never heard of spawn sacs before I moved to Vermont, but then again I hadn’t been fishing since I was a kid, either. Last night my (now deceased) best friend Cyrt (who also was not a fisherman, and would have celebrated a birthday next Friday) and I hooked on a couple salmon sacs, tossed them over the edge of the ice shelf still hanging halfway out into the Barton River, and hauled in a bright, shiny, untapped keg of Heineken! Score!

Scrambled, Not Fried 
I have never heard of spawn sacs, and I am wondering if the picture on the left shows what it is like… And I am sorry to hear about your best friend.
Also, I am wondering where the beer came from.
Yep, that’s a spawn sac. Salmon eggs in a mesh sac, about the size of two peas in a pod. Cyrt’s been dead a couple years now, but it was still nice fishing & drinking our favorite Dutch beer with him in my dreams. Thanks for asking.
sorry to hear about your friend, but you certainly are handling his memory well
much love…

That was definitely a nice catch. Nice of you to hold one up to the sky for your friend.
Result! 🙂 Nice way to remember a friend, Ron.
What a wonderful memorial to your friend. Cheers!
What a great catch, and I bet your friend was cheering you on!
Wow, I have not seen that before. I remember my excitement the first time I saw my brother-in-law take my son fishing in Florida. They used whole jumbo shrimp, with their heads attached yet. I’d never seen that before either, and can still see it now! I am sorry about your loss, but the next best thing when we lose loved ones is to keep their memory alive. I think he’s joining you today as well! Happy fishing or whatever you do today!
That is the beauty of dreams, they allow us to live again. That is a bittersweet one, Ron. I am glad it was a happy one for you.
OK…. I learned something new today!
Sounds interesting..
what a good memory of your friend Cyrt- and an ingenious way to chill the beer! Have a great day!
Way to go, Ron. I assume the Heineken was still okay to drink. I know it was cold. Sorry about your friend, we lose the along our way until it is our turn. I had a friend who was late for his own funeral. We all waited in his favorite tavern for his body to get there from Wisconsin later that afternoon.
I drink my coffee black, I like to be able to enjoy its taste.

Score!
