Bristol Bay surges forward

At this moment, the catch in Bristol Bay stands at nearly 27 million salmon, with big hauls still coming in. Fishermen caught more than 2.5 million yesterday.

This is shaping up as a fine season, with the state's preseason forecast of nearly 35 million sockeye well within reach.

Now, let's see what kind of price the processors pay once fishermen begin to pull their boats and head home.

Hi, Deckboss. Puget Sound-area Safeway ad this week has fresh Alaska sockeye fillet for $17/lb. All winter was $10-12/lb. for frozen. Does not say where in Alaska it was caught.
