I am on a quest to see all the salmon and trout species around the world. I am also interested in the connection between salmon and culture. I travel, I discover, and I film.

As is the case with many islands, the Hawaiian islands have been severely impacted by invasive species, including fishes.
Many canals are swarming with tilapia, like this redbreast tilapia I caught on Kauai.

Fishing for science in Yellowstone National Park.
The Yellowstone Volunteer Fly Fishing program enlists anglers to catch fish for biologists to tag and take genetic samples.
Caught this beautiful native Yellowstone cutthroat today while participating in the program. #flyfishing

Quick morning at Don Pedro yielded 5 king salmon, a fat Kokanee (2.2lbs football) and about a 26” rainbow that broke the hook after a missed netting.

So, should we start talking about what it will look like when we start getting floods of climate change refugees moving from red states to blue states? #climatechange #GOP

My review of The Dawn Patrol Diaries by James Card, in this month’s Fly Fisherman magazine.
Great book about fly fishing in Korea, an unexpected destination for lovers of small streams & native fishes. Well worth checking out, as is the magazine.

Why is it that Republicans run on "no war" but endes up being the ones that gets us involved with them? More US soldiers died because of Republican than because of Democrats (not considering that Dems inherit the wars). #GOP #Parade #Armyparade #Trump #war thehill.com/policy/defen...

This Memorial Day, as with all memorial days, I think of the idiocy and uselessness of wars. The suffering, the hurt, the trauma, and the devastation that comes with the wars we participated in. And I cry, because I know we will never stop, it is part of human nature to revere war.

Last year, 2024, the Campanu - the first salmon captured during salmon season in #Asturias, Spain - was caught in the Narcea River. The fish weighted a little over 8 kg and the wining bind at the auction was 19,300 euro. youtube.com/shorts/P1RYn...

The salmon populations in the Yukon River provides for an important subsistence fishery. However, it competes with the commercial fishery and is the first to be sacrificed when run estimates are off target. #Yukonriver #Tanana #subsistence #salmon
In 2010 I went to #Alaska to learn about subsistence fishing for salmon and the importance of salmon runs in the Yukon River. Here is our short video about it. #salmon #Atabascan #conservation youtu.be/Vlnup4Mzb8M?...

All salmon species in the US are fully or have diversity groups listed as endangered or threatened. 11 distinct population segments of steelhead are listed. 6 species of trout are listed under the ESA. However, nearly all native trout (92%) face some level of risk. #salmon #trout #biodiversity
