    You dont know what your talking about. The fishing is highly regulated by very short openings to fish of just a few hours a week. And we dont fish until enough pass to lay eggs for the next years hatch. And every salmon dies after it returns to fresh water, so all the fish you see would die anyway withing a few weeks. You stupid pile of s***t

    I am guessing you never ate a Yukon Chum. It puts all other salmon to shame. It has higher omega III than any other salmon. Look it up. Our King salmon are the best in the world. The last time they sold it was for $85 a lb in Seattle.

    Those "Wild Spinach" look like a plant called Twisted Stalk or Watermelon Berry we get here in Southeast AK. Latin name "Streptopus amplexifolius" They also have yellow flowers and produce red oval shaped berry fruits in the later summer. Do you perhaps know if they are the same plant? I've never seen it in interior AK but the climate on the lower yukon is a little different I am guessing.

    Great video as usual Jeff! Do you just cut the ice and set the snare pole at the den entrance? If so how do you figure out where the entrance is? Or do you just sort of set it somewhere next to the house and hope for the best?

    I usually set one set on both sides of the feed pile facing the house usually works. I also look for breaks in the feed pile and air bubbles in the ice if its clear ice thats the best way to see the channel. Also hard bottom means a channel they travel.
