Conner Goes Humpy Fishing

Every other year the Humpies (aka Dog Salmon) run up the rivers to spawn and 2007 is a Humpy year. Humpys aren't good eating...they are called Dog Salmon because the Indians used to feed them to their dogs. There are thousands of them and they are easy and fun to catch. Last week Kevin and their friend and fishing guide Rob took Conner Humpy fishing.

A longstanding NW fishing tradition.... "Toss the youngest fisherman overboard".
