The Wolf at Red Salmon, Naknek, AK

This shows the Wolf, unloading at Red Salmon Cannery in 1984. For a present-day sighting of the Wolf, see yesterday's photo, May 22, 2005.

For those who aren't familiar with the Bristol Bay fishery and see a catch like this ... do not worry about the depletion of the salmon. This fishery has sustained the commercial harvest for many years and continues to remain viable. The escapement and breeding stock are closely monitored and controlled by an independent (relatively) Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
