Spring Camp bounty… Yuk style pike fish rack. Most consider the Northern Pike an annoyance. Little do most know that dipped in seal oil this is one of Alaska’s most tasty fish. It’s almost time to portage over to camp…

Winters over… But I feel free!!!

This is my mother. My unsung hero. The one person who instilled our way of life in my blood. A true lady… One who took care of four children on her own and some how some way made it all work… She will drop what she is doing to help me prepare or clean my catch and never really throws anything away. She is a dying breed. Someone who utilizes everything the creator gives us like she was taught. A true Yuk Lady!
