The salmon are running in Copper River now. They may even let us take an extra 10 fish, bring us up to 40 fish we can dip-net for our winter salmon supply. It's really more a matter of "harvesting" than going fishing. We'll clean them there, leaving the guts in the stream. (The decaying bodies of the adults is the primary food for the fish when they hatch, since the purity of the water means there's nothing much to eat in it). And then of course we'll have to fillet them and vacuum seal them.
When we get finished with that it will be time to pick blue berries. Dumped another two cords of wood in the yard this morning.
Summer!!
