King Salmon from the Klamath River


There's a special time of year that is becoming more and more important in the Piacentini household. King salmon fishing season at the Klamath River! The Klamath River is located near the Oregon/California border and the fishing season opens up in late summer/early Fall. It is becoming almost as important as Christmas in our family.

My brothers Evan, Paul, Ian and Eric and some of their good friends gather their salmon fishing gear, pack up their trucks and drive the 12 hours to the Klamath River from Santa Barbara. They have a great time camping, BBQing, eating salmon, drinking beer and fishing!

It's so great to gather together after their trip at my folk's house, build the fire in the backyard, and eat the deep orange, luscious fresh King Salmon caught by my brothers. They fillet it themselves, create their own marinades and cook for all of us. It's truly as wonderful as any holiday in our family.
