The Fishing Report: Politics threaten salmon future

King salmon continue to make their way to the Golden Gate or to the Klamath in waves and as a result, scores of salmon off of our Sonoma coast have been more sporadic than the solid action we had all July. Saturday out of Bodega Bay, sport boats landed very few – and then on Sunday, the action reportedly increased markedly with several boats reporting limits of large king salmon to 40 pounds.

Creek friendly home improvement and yard care

The days are long and warm, but many of us are anything but lazy. We are in our yards tackling our outdoor honey-do lists. We are refinishing our decks, painting our homes and taming our yards. After painting the house, sanding the deck, or trimming back the landscaping it would be convenient to sweep or pour the mess into the storm drain (or gutter). The problem is that everything that enters the storm drain eventually flows into our creeks untreated.

In the movie “The Terminal”, Tom Hanks portrays a man stuck in an airport for nine months due to a bureaucratic snafu. He can’t speak English and is left to fend for himself in the international terminal of New York Airport. As the story unfolds, he learns English, makes friends, and finds ways to get food, money and a home for himself. At times he has only saltine crackers and ketchup to eat. He accepts his situation with a positive attitude.
