TU Alaska Helps Sponsors Book Tour for Red Summer

Red Summer, a book about Bristol Bay commercial fishing by author and filmmaker, Bill Carter, is being re-released in June. Trout Unlimited Alaska is helping sponsor Carter’s book tour on the West Coast. Set in the Alaska Native village of Egegik on the shores of Bristol Bay, Red Summer tells the thrilling story of one man’s journey from novice to seasoned fisherman over the course of four beautiful, brutal summers in one of the earth’s few remaining wild places. As millions of salmon race toward their annual spawning grounds, Carter learns the ancient, back breaking trade of the set net fisherman, one of the most exhilarating and dangerous jobs in the world. Carter is a passionate advocate for protecting Bristol Bay and keeping large-scale hard rock mining out of the watershed. Check out Carter’s tour schedule.
