A h-uile samhradh tha bradain a' d猫anamh an slighe bhon Chuain Sh猫imh suas a Chaolas Cook airson s矛olachadh anns na ceudan de aibhnichean ann an imrich fada deuchainneach. A' feitheamh orra tha Balaich Iasgach Alasga air ais, deiseil airson an glacadh aon uair eile. Ann an dh脿 no tr矛 sheachdainean feuchaidh iad an tuarasdal bhliadhnail aca a dh猫anamh a dh'aindeoin trioblaidean
teicnigeach, s矛de chaochlaideach, daoine a' dol an aghaidh a ch猫ile agus polis na st脿ite a' cumail s霉il gheur orra .

Leis an t-seusan air t貌iseachadh, tha feadhainn de na sgiobairean a' dol a dh' iasgach 's a' bhad agus cuid eile nach eil fi霉 's a faighinn air falbh bho t矛r. Airson an fheadhainn a tha ag iasgach, tha e follaiseach d猫 cho e貌lach no cho aineolach 's a tha iad le na tha iad a' toirt dhachaigh leotha. Leis a' chiad l脿 seachad agus t貌rr uairean fada air thoiseach orra, tha na sgiobairean toilichte gu bheil an t-seusan air t貌iseachadh, ged a tha iad iomagaineach mu d猫 tha fainear dhaibh.

Every summer, schools of salmon swim from the Pacific Ocean through the Cook Inlet and up more than one hundred rivers and streams to spawn in what is an epic migration. Waiting at the end of their journey, the Alaskan fishermen are back, ready to net the catch of a lifetime. They attempt to make an entire annual wage in a few short weeks while facing mechanical breakdowns, unpredictable weather, heated confrontations and rigorous state police patrolling.

As the season begins, some captains hit the fish hard, while others have a tough time even getting to the grounds. For the fishermen who are out, their experience or lack thereof is evident in their catches as the first day draws to a close. With one day down and many more hours of fishing ahead, each captain is happy to have gotten the season started, but they are still anxious for the big run.
