Pay Load

It's time to get fish for the garden. This year I am getting mine from the Sitka Sound Science Center's hatchery. It's SO EASY!

At the hatchery they collect the returning Salmon....


And they harvest the eggs and sperm.




I was able to back the truck right up to the totes of fish....


....and pitch them directly into the back of the truck.


These photos are for you, Jesse and Glynda!!!!




And then I brought them home and unloaded them.....



....and gave the truck a thorough scrubbing!!!!!!

If you want to get some fish from the Science Center just give them a call and ask for Lon Garrison.

  1. Do you ever get bears/ravens messing with your garden after you put fish in it?

    1. I haven't had any bear trouble. I wait until there is LOTS of fish in the streams and there is no more bear activity in the police blotter. I also put moth balls up around the perimeter of the property....that really works! Ravens haven't bothered it either. The only trouble so far has been dogs. Now I have a net fence around the property that keeps them out.
