If my sister, in the security of retirement, with as little opportunity as inclination to do evil, could not avoid censure, we must not rashly condemn those who, living in the world and surrounded with temptations, should be accused of errors which they are known to have the power of committing.
Between June and July, enormous schools of Alaska Silver Salmon enter the fray. During July our Anglers delight in multiple hookups of kings, silvers and halibut - often at the same time! Later in July even more silvers are caught and schools of kings head south to spawn.
Depending on the timing of the spawn, salmon may face multiple threats. Natural events can make things more difficult, too. In the summer of 2008, floods in Alaska put the king salmon population at risk. Floods usually occur late in the year, after the salmon have spawned. Earlier flooding means that eggs already deposited could be washed away.
