Thursday on Fish Talk we’re busting myths about beaver dams and fish weirs.
Some say that these structures hurt our fish on the Kuskokwim. Others say that beaver dams create healthy habitats for fish. And what about fish weirs? How do they affect the fish? They provide valuable data for managers and researchers, but what do they do to the fish and fishing?
Tomorrow on Fish Talk we’ll talk with Aaron Moses and Aaron Webber from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to answer these questions.
Aaron Moses is from Toksook Bay and studied beaver dams on the Kwethluk River for many years. Aaron Webber runs the Kwethluk and Tuluksak fish weirs on the Kuskokwim.
Join the conversation by calling KYUK for Fish Talk, a call-in show about fish on the Kuskokwim, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, June 1.
