Right now, sockeye salmon are pouring into Southwest Alaska by the tens of thousands. Escaping ocean predators, running the gauntlet pass the commercial fishing boats, and pushing upstream against the current to ultimately spawn and die. Where this female is set to spawn is the same spot she emerged as a tiny, inch long fry several years ago.
She is a true survivor and will pass along all that she has experienced in her off-spring.

Rainbow trout in the small streams of Alaska's Bristol Bay region *average* 18 to 22 inches in length. (That's no typo... average!) But, larger trout run from 24 to 30 inches and are typically found in the larger rivers of the Bristol Bay region.

Throughout the vast regions of tundra in Southwest Alaska flow tiny streams. From the air they appear like veins ... spreading out and connecting up with larger bodies of water like lakes and rivers.
