On Tuesday the 11th, I had the opportunity to take a river boat trip to two village school locations along the Yukon. My travel companions were Hank (independent contract plumber) and Ray our school's head maintenance guy. He owns two boats that he uses mostly for fishing during the summer and boat trips like our for the local teachers and district administrators. He told me he averages about $50K during the summer months doing commercial fishing. He has lived in Emmonak all his life so he really knows the river and where you need to go for their annual subsistence type fishing and hunting.
