This guy is serious about photography! An incredible photo essay on underwater salmon from Hatch Magazine. 

This is a must read by Ryan Peterson on the DrakeMag.com. There is a real war being waged on salmon - let's do something. Voice your opinions with the state of Alaska. 

Stop and think about how incredible our Earth is. 

Filmed with Bristol Bay's Mission Lodge, Episode 3 showcases 3 guides working and playing in the Alaska bush. Justin, Zach, and Dan describe their connection to their job, the waters, and the incredible fish that they chase every season. Most folks who have worked or lived in AK can relate to their stories. Just like home, there always is "a draw that keeps bringing you back to this place". Episode 3 also features some incredible aerial landscape scenery, thanks to the pilots and crew at Mission Lodge.
