Yak Fishing

So I"ve been teasing my daughters for years about yaks. When they ask what's for dinner--stewed yak, and that sort of thing.

Then I get heavily obsessed with the idea of catching large fish from a kayak. So I get a good deal on a couple of kayaks. I see an opportunity to play a good one on the girls.

I told them I had been to Bemidji to pick up a couple of yaks. My eldest didn't believe me at first. There were lots of questions. Q: Where are the yaks? A: One in the living room and one in the garage. Q: How do you fish from a yak? A: By sitting on top of it. The hardest question was when they asked me what I had been feeding the yaks. I said that I didn't feed them. The girls were concerned about their health.

Then they saw the yaks finally. I had one in my living room. All of last weekend was spent with one or both girls sitting in the yak reading or playing. Cute.

There's a funny article that muses on yak fishing at: http://www.coastalanglermagazine.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=233

The yaks I brought home were Crow Wing Kayaks: www.crowwingkayaks.com

I see Sierra Trading Post has yak leather shoes. Tempting.
