Cook Inlet commercial salmon fishing still exists today. Boats still leave the shore each season, and set their nets to catch the wild salmon swimming to their rivers of birth. Snug Harbor Seafoods and Cook Inlet Wild marketing hired Pat this past July to photograph the fish, boats and processing operation to be used in their marketing efforts. These are some of the more than 400 photographs taken during that shoot.
