More Salmon Sculptures

Thirty salmon sculptures are entered into this year's "Wild Salmon on Parade" promotion. They will be displayed in numerous locations throughout Anchorage until September. An auction will be held to auction off all of the sculptures, and the proceeds will benefit local nonprofit organizations.

"Uncle Salmon"

Their red, white, and blue salmon is complete with a top had and a white beard. Uncle Salmon wants you. And we want the salmon.



"Float Fish"

Our pilots often travel to wild and scenic parts of Alaska to fish, often times for salmon. It seems only appropriate that a salmon should sprout wings and floats to be able to escape our numerous local fishermen. The "Float Fish" was created by Don Ricker.

Hello fellow fisherman,

Did you know that 16% of the U.S. population goes fishing at least 16 days a year?

Did you also know that over 75% of the nations fishermen do not fish during "prime time"; fish feeding hours?

Those precious few moments before twilight can be absolutely magical. Even up until 11pm at night, the largest predators of any species feed ravenously.

Don't believe me? Check out Daniel Eggertsen's story, and a picture of a couple of his catches here : "Evening Secrets plus more"

I want you to do me a favor and try it out so I can see what you think of it, and if it works for you as well as it did for me.

You will be one of the first to try it out.

Gone Fishin',

Neil
