Northern Pike (Esox Lucius) caught with "pug head" jaw deformity, usually associated with cold water temperatures during incubation.

Both sides of Cook Inlet are eroding near Tyonek. The erosion is reaching old and new growth trees, and causing more debris to fall in to the Inlet, which easily get caught in set nets.

The sun when direct was intense, definitely not April and not May...more like the month of June.

I rarely see trumpeter swans on the lake, and I don't ever remember seeing them so early.

Rabies has been identified by the State of Alaska as being endemic (regularly found) in the fox population in this area.

This catch in a Tatitlek herring net places a school of shiner surfperch about 700 km north of their normal range.
