This document summarizes interviews conducted with local subsistence fishers on the Upper Yukon River. The objectives of the interviews were to document traditional ecological knowledge of salmon fisheries, including seasonal cycles, local names, species interactions, and recommendations for management. Interviewees described the cultural and economic importance of subsistence fishing, noting that fish are used for food and dog food. They also spoke about environmental changes observed over generations, including warmer winters, more sandbars, and smaller king salmon sizes. Fishers recommended against larger commercial nets that may be negatively impacting genetics. Local researchers were trained to conduct interviews to gain more trusted, detailed perspectives.

Fishing is an important tradition that brings families together and connects them to nature. It provides sustenance but also spiritual fulfillment. The document shares several personal anecdotes of fishing trips with family and friends, emphasizing the lifelong memories created and lessons learned from spending time together outdoors enjoying the bounty of oceans, rivers, and lakes. Fishing is presented not just as a way to catch fish but as an opportunity to experience the beauty of nature and strengthen relationships.
The document summarizes information about Kaitoke School on Great Barrier Island, New Zealand. It includes sections about meeting students, the school museum which houses treasures and historical artifacts from the island, upcoming term one events, and examples of student written historical recounts about shipwrecks and the island's history. The document aims to showcase different aspects of the school and island for visitors to the museum and community.
This essay examines the portrayal of the relationship between Santiago and nature in Ernest Hemingway's novella "The Old Man and the Sea". Nature can be seen in two ways - as itself, depicting Santiago's environment and the difficulties of fishing, and as a metaphor, where the sea represents life and boats/fish symbolize different types of people. Santiago's relationship with nature begins as harmonious but turns violent as sharks steal his catch at the end, representing how nature can be both nurturing and threatening. The essay analyzes these dual perspectives of nature in the novella.

The document describes the author's three-day kayaking trip in Johnstone Strait, British Columbia, with the goal of getting close encounters with resident killer whales. Over the first 30 hours, strong winds hamper efforts and the author grows disappointed at the lack of whale sightings. On the final day, the guide receives word that a pod is approaching. The author spots several whales in the distance and is thrilled when one surfaces just 20 meters from his kayak. The successful trip culminates with nearly two dozen whales appearing through the fog just offshore from the author's camp the next morning.

ou’d thought Gus had a bag full
of candy and was handing it out
during recess. While he sat at
the table in the lodge rec room, a
pencil in one hand and a sheet of
paper in the other, he filled out the next day’s
itinerary while guests hovered around him
like bees to honey.
Fishermen from various parts of the
country waited for their turn to get their
name on the list. All of them were guests at
Rainbow King Lodge. There was the couple
from Tennessee, a group of six fishermen from
Anchorage, four friends from Salt Lake City,
my son Peter and me, and John and Bill from
Atlanta, Georgia. John had retired from his
law practice while his son-in-law Bill was able
to steel away from his job for a week of trout
fishing.
“We’d like to fish Gibraltar tomorrow,” Bill
said.
Bill is a polite southern gentleman from
Atlanta who was on his 18th consecutive visit
to Rainbow King Lodge. He and his father-inlaw, John, are regulars. They know the rivers
in Bristol Bay intimately and he was calling
upon a vault of personal history. Gus looked
at his sheet, penciled in Bill and John’s names
and turned to me.
It was my turn to decide where me and
my son were going to fish the next day. I was
doing my best to get a feel for what other
guests were thinking, and where they were
scheduled to fish. The choices varied from a
dozen premier trout rivers, to salmon on the
coast, or halibut fishing. I had been to Rainbow King Lodge one other time, so my bevvy
of personal choices were limited. I looked at
Bill and John and I figured their 18 summers
had to account for something.
“If there’s room on the Gibraltar, we’d love

to fish it.”
Gus, who’s real name is Craig Augustynovich but goes by “Gus” for obvious reasons,
looked at me and smiled. “That’s a good
choice. It’s been fishing really good lately.” It
was settled. After dinner, we’d hit the rack,
wake up for breakfast at 6 a.m. then jump
in the van and drive three minutes to the
lake where we’d hop aboard the DeHavilland
Beaver and our pilot would fly us to Gibraltar
Lake. Our guide would be waiting there when
we arrived.
When the Beaver’s floats touched down
on the lake the next morning our pilot,
John Lucas, taxied the plane to the shoreline
where two blue rubber rafts and two young
bucks waited. Bill and John piled into Devan’s raft while Peter and I stowed our gear
into Justin’s raft. Our guide for the day was
Justin Schillaci, a 23-year-old trout bum from
Pennsylvania. A high school history teacher
during the school year, he guides fishermen
in Alaska during the summer.
Located on the south side of Lake Iliamna,
the Gibraltar flows north into Lake Iliamna.
The river is barely six miles long, but it is
without a doubt one of the prettiest trout
rivers in all of Alaska. From Gibraltar Lake
the river tumbles through alder groves and
stands of spruce trees. In several places granite
walls dictate the river’s course before it reaches
Lake Iliamna. The river is crystal clear and the
cobblestone bottom makes for near-perfect

thanks to Rainbow King Lodge owner Rodger
Glaspey, Peter was fortunate to see a slice of
Alaska that few people his age get to experience.
Rainbow King Lodge has been in operation since the early 70s when Ray Loesche
started it. Glaspey and his partners Ted Sheely
and Jim Fletcher are the third owners. They
bought RKL after Tom Robinson passed away
in 2009. They have since trimmed back the
number of guests that stay here each week,
and spent a lot of money on improving the
lodge itself. The rooms have new, private
bathrooms, along with new mattresses and
bedding that is fit for a 5-star hotel in New
York City. There is high-speed Internet
service, as well as a revamped menu. It makes
for a great place to hang your hat after a long
day on the water. Which is ultimately what
you come for.
Rainbow King Lodge has made a name for
itself by whisking fishermen to some of the
best trout and salmon rivers in Bristol Bay.
It maintains upwards of a half-dozen private
pat hoglund photo
salmon spawning habitat. The Gibraltar gets
a sockeye run, a small coho run, and most
importantly it supports a healthy population
of rainbow trout.
The trout here are not overly large, however
it does have its share of trophy fish. Which
was evident at the first hole we stopped to
fish. Located about a mile from where the
plane dropped us off, the holding water was
on the inside bend of a long sweeping run
that was backed up by a logjam. Justin pulled
the raft up on a gravel bar and directed Peter
to the top end of a deep run. With a red bead
below a strike indicator I watched him make
his first official cast into Alaska waters. I
know it was something he wanted to do for a
long time. I also knew that he had visions of
gracefully casting his 6-weight long distances
to rising trout. I’m suspecting he was a little
disappointed when he learned most of his
casts would be 15 feet or less. He casually
flipped his bead into the river, gave the line
its customary mend, and was welcomed to
Alaska with a massive strike from a rainbow
that exploded out of the water. It threw the
hook and was gone in a split second. Peter was
dumbfounded. “Did you see that?” he asked.
I was equally shocked. It was a beautiful fish that might’ve gone 30 inches. It was
a classic Alaska rainbow. Big, beautiful and
strong like an ox. But Peter’s inattentiveness
on his first cast proved to be his undoing. I
couldn’t help but think it wouldn’t have been
right had he stuck a 30-incher on his first
cast anyway. He was already getting spoiled
enough just being there because there aren’t
too many 14-year-olds who get to experience a week at a flyout lodge in Alaska. But

leases on rivers that are a plane ride away.
They own and operate three airplanes, two
Beavers and an Otter. The Beaver normally sits
six people while the Otter seats 10. Because of
its location on Lake Iliamna, Rainbow King is
able to pick and choose the best places to fish
within close range of the lodge. It can also fly
guests to places that are not so close. During
the week Peter and I fished here, we fished
the Gibraltar River, September Creek, the
Kamishak River, Brooks River, the Newhalen,
and one far away salmon-infested river on
the coast where it was an every-cast affair for
silvers. The only time we didn’t fly in a plane
was on the Newhalen. The operation is first
class and the available waters the lodge has to
fish is extensive.
After Peter lost his first trout he was a little
more focused. He spent the rest of the morning pining away for a crack at another big one.
“I can’t believe I lost that fish,” he’d say. Each
time Justin responded by telling him he’d get
another chance. Sometimes I chalk that up
to guide speak, but on the Gibraltar I felt like
it was true. I personally was waiting for my
chance, which never did come. I caught plenty of rainbows in the 18- to 22-inch range,
but never got beyond the 24-inch mark.
Which in my world, that’s a really big trout.
A trout that big has shoulders, it’s incredibly
strong and will put up a memorable fight.
After a shore lunch that included fresh
salmon cooked over an open fire, we jumped
back in the raft and made our way downriver.
I was positioned on the bow, while Peter was
on the stern. Justin was between us rowing the raft. We slipped below an island and
Peter placed his “fly” in a pocket that looked
“trouty”. His strike indicator disappeared and
he lifted his rod to set the hook. Out of the
water bolted a thick rainbow. This time he
was prepared. The fish raced down river and
Peter and Justin jumped out of the raft and
gave chase. I stayed back with the raft and
watched the scene unfold before me. Using
the fast water to its advantage, the rainbow
ripped downstream taking with it all of Peter’s
fly line and 20 or 30 feet of his backing. Had
it continued farther downriver I am convinced
Peter would’ve lost it, but the trout tired and
as luck would have it, Peter managed to get
it within arm’s length. Justin slipped the net
under the trout to help Peter claim his prize.
5. Gibraltar River
It wasn’t the 30-incher that he hoped for, but
it was a damn nice trout (it taped out at 27
inches) and he was proud of it. I was equally
happy for him. I snapped a dozen photos and
he released it. Justin was genuinely happy for
Peter and he reminded him that I still hadn’t
hooked a fish that big. That made Peter feel
that much better.
Trout fishing in Alaska is like a lot of things
in this state: straightforward and pragmatic.
It’s no different on the Gibraltar in August.
The sockeye run arrives in June and once
they begin spawning in August the trout key
in on salmon eggs. For the better part of the
two months, 90 percent of the trout in Bristol
Bay are caught on beads. Some people refer
to them as “flies” but they’re nothing more
than small, plastic beads that slide onto the
leader. Of course we use fly rods and reels
loaded with floating line, which is where
the lines get blurred. The beads are either
tied or pegged to stay in place, usually about
3 or 4 inches above size 4 or 6 hook. The
beads come in different color and the guides
at Rainbow King Lodge pride themselves
on their own shades, which they dictate by
painting the beads with different colors of
fingernail polish. And while you might think
that any old bead will do, you’ll learn that
color and size matters. Most, if not all, of the
trout we caught on the Gibraltar were taken
on a 6mm red bead with shades of milky
white painted onto its exterior. These were
Justin’s own creation and they worked like
magic.
Split shot is attached to the leader and a
strike indicator is used to determine whether
your bead was taken. As my son came to

tendency is to stay in one place longer than
you should. But who could blame you when
you’re ripping fish? Before you know it the
day draws to a close and the plane is coming
to pick you up.
Justin rowed through
the bottom end of the river
and found the slough where
Harry had landed the plane.
Within minutes the rafts
were deflated, disassembled
and packed into the back
of the Otter. The six of us
piled into the belly of the
airplane and taxied across
Lake Iliamna. Once in the
air Harry banked the plane
to the right and I watched
Bill look down on the river.
He was smiling. If nothing
else, 18 years taught him one
thing: he knew a good thing
when he saw it.

learn, the presentation is anything but sexy.
Visions of casting dry flies to rising trout
in Montana were quickly dashed when he
learned the chuck and duck method. Cast
upstream without hitting yourself in the head,
give the fly line a mend to ensure a drag free
drift, and once the indicator disappears set
the hook. Like I said, it’s simple and straightforward. If you’re lucky you’ll end up with
a trout on the end of your line that leaves its
lair at breakneck speeds with a tail-walking
dance burning a lasting memory. I can’t speak
for Peter, but watching him land that trout is
something I won’t soon forget.
Toward the end of the day we heard the
unmistakable sound of a turbo prop engine
buzzing overhead. We looked up and it was
Harry, who was flying the Otter. It was time
for us to go. The day came to an end with
us having to pass up a lot of good-looking
water on the lower end of the river. It happens
that way on streams like the Gibraltar. The
trout population is so abundant that your
