Have a great season!

Just wanted to let all of my readers know that I go off contract June 15th, and may or may not be writing the column for the next couple of months. I will be back on contract August 15th.

I will be in Naknek, working at our family-owned fish processing company, Naknek Family Fisheries. For those of you who may be interested in seeing how a small fish processing company operates, I will be hosting a Seafood Processor Training on June 9th and 10th. The first day will be reviewing the really exciting stuff - processing regulations, seafood business licensing, etc. The second day will be in our fish plant, reviewing issues related to sanitation, HACCP, water supply systems, recordkeeping, and processing techniques. This will be a free workshop, open to the public. If you would like to sign up for this, send me an email with your name, contact information, and what day(s) you would like to participate.

We are so lucky to be blessed with such an amazing, renewable natural resource to harvest every season. I hope that all of the participants in the Bristol Bay salmon fishery recognize how precious our salmon and this lifestyle is.

I just wanted to wish all of you fishermen and fishing families out there a safe, profitable, and fun fishing season. Have a great fishing season!!
