What a special place.
Thanks for a GLORY day, Blake!
It's one I'll remember for a mighty LONG time.

Anyone notice the Storm ad in the latest STS? B&W version was extracted from this image.

Throwback Thursday.... with a cautionary note. I feel blessed to have fished the hallowed waters of the Kanektok when I did. Like so many other premier king salmon streams in the Great Land, the K'tok has literally tanked after only 5 years since my baptismal trip! 2014 saw partial closures of even the native's subsistence fishery. 2015 saw a TOTAL closure of the rec fishery for kings and restrictions on the native fishery. 2016 is poised for more of the same... http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/sf/EONR/index.cfm?ADFG=region.NR&Year=2016&NRID=2216http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/sf/EONR/index.cfm?ADFG=region.NR&Year=2016&NRID=2215

Doc
You're more familiar with the situation there than I. There must be some hellacious dams, hatcheries, and habitat destruction on that river in order to kill off a run that fast. Harvest alone could never be that much of a problem, could it?

But the directed salmon fisheries are held harmless, right?

The Bering Sea pollock trawl nets are a HUGE component of the "unfavorable ocean conditions" those chinook are experiencing.
