Nancy's Fun
Summer!
"This summer before I started cutting
fish I had to clean my fish house and wash all my fish hanging poles.
Then the next day I cut a tote of Chums because there were a lot of
Chums on the river. After I cut the fish Nick hung them up and got me
some alder trees to smoke them. I let them hang for about two and a
half weeks, smoking them all day. Then about a week after I put my
smoked Chums away in a bucket and some zip-loc bags, I started
cutting King salmon strips. The first time, I cut fifteen Kings and
it took me over twelve hours to put them up in strips. The second
time I made strips it took me six hours because I had only twelve
Kings. The reason I took so long was because King salmon are very
large fish. I also had to let them hang a little longer because they
were too oily. It was a lot of work but it was worth it in the
end.
After cutting fish strips was over I
started thinking about berries. The first berries I thought about
were salmon berries. But there weren't very many salmon berries where
we looked and I only picked two quart bags full. Then it was blue
berry season. And they were fun to pick because there were lots of
them. So far I must have picked about 25 quart bags full. I
could have had more but I kept on making agutak. The next berries I'm
thinking about are black berries, but I won't pick those until the
first frost comes because they are sweeter after the first frost. It
was a fun summer for me."
