Late Salmon Run

Observation: This salmon that I am holding was caught by an elder in Fort Yukon, Nat Englishoe. Its probably a silver salmon, through the ice in the Yukon River. Salmon!! First time many of us have seen this, though a few in town say they have seen this before. The water is still open and although it has been -40 F. Crazy huh? The conditions are weird, and we do not usually see salmon so late. We got very little salmon this summer because of the king salmon crisis. Rocky James
