Two biologists with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game talk about this summer’s salmon season on the Kuskokwim and Yukon Rivers. Fred West, who tracks the Yukon River returns and manages the summer run on the Yukon, and Sean Larson, who keeps track of the Kuskokwim River, explore the late and low returns that dominated the summer season this year.
