Gone Fishin’

I’m around… sort of. Summer in Alaska. Busy. I’ve been the last few days doing a type of subsistence fishing called set-net. It’s moderately labor intensive but worth it to teach others the “old ways”. So here are a few pics, should my view interest you.

Mostly silver salmon, which is exactly what I wanted. Good amount of fat and flavor.
Set-net fishes the high tides, so that meant early (for me) and then again later, close to sunset around 1030pm.
That splash is the tell-tale sign that a fish has hit the net!
In the smokehouse.

      • This neighbor sounds awesome. I totally approve of his choice of canis familiaris!

        If he’s bald, drives a Jeep and espouses libertarianism its going to get a bit weird tho…

        • I do think he’s bald but he drives a black pick-up of some sort and I have no idea his political stances. I’ve never done more than wave to him as I drive or walk by. He’s only here a couple months out of the year.

    • Thanks Matt. I’m sure I could take some more, if there’s interest. Tonight I will be pulling it out of the smokehouse and beginning the canning process.

  10. Thanks for the update. This is really cool, seeing how it had to be done in the past. You have a great talent that many should have in order to survive. You are blessed and the best.
