Checking Out Macaulay Salmon Hatchery in Juneau

[@stevenzinn9684]

I appreciate the positivity for our hatchery here in Juneau and helping educate people on our fish conservation.

[@EISAlaska]

It was a great tour Steven, wish we'd been able to check out inside. Always happy to help spread information.

[@alannba1156]

Thanks guys for taking us along with you it was awesome 👍 see you next time 👋

[@EISAlaska]

Sure thing, Alan, thanks for watching!

[@stevecobb6001]

Education and entertainment at the same time............... Great job to you all..... Thank you ALL!

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

I'm always impressed as hell by the Alaskan fisheries. You're all doing something right. If I had a deck chair and a packed lunch I'd sit at the ladder window all day watching them.

[@EISAlaska]

They are mesmerizing!

[@cindydenton2681]

Great to see this awesome family having some fun and seeing some new adventures! I don’t know why we didn’t go see that 6 years ago when we went to Juneau. Thank you guy’s for taking us along on your adventures!

[@EISAlaska]

Next time you guys come up, maybe! Wish we could have checked it out inside.

[@gregormiller4037]

Good to see you guys gettin' out and about on theses posts. With big smileys on your face. warms my heart.

[@EISAlaska]

[@pmmccrea]

Thanks for much for the look. Few of get to see this sort of thing. You guys are blessed, keep up the good work. God bless!

[@mikewhitman830]

A) It would be epic if down here in WA. they had some hatcheries like this one. It would benefit the marine areas and local fishing. B) Those totems are cool. Respect to those who have the passed on knowledge and traditions. 🙏 C) Really love the new ride! 🛥

[@EISAlaska]

Cheers, Mike!

[@jonmalone9208]

Went on a hatchery tour in Portland Oregon couple of years ago,it’s really cool,Thanks for educating us guys❤️♥️♥️

[@markmaccani9411]

Very good job guys. Nice to see a different part of the fishery.

[@strawcarpenter9559]

Excellent tour. Thanks!

[@corvisser9115]

tanks for the video

[@EISAlaska]

You bet!

[@rh2999]

I can spend hours at a fish ladder or viewing window too, very mesmerizing to watch them swim and think about ways we could catch some! Thanks

[@stevehammond2016]

Entertaining as well as enlightening . . Thanks for " taking us along " .

[@EISAlaska]

Our pleasure!

[@walterdrummonds3078]

I toured that hatchery in 2019. Part of the tour you got too see the fry tanks with millions of fish fry swimming around

[@EISAlaska]

I wish the inside had been open that day.

[@Brian.N]

Thank you for sharing the hatchery. That was really cool to see

[@EISAlaska]

Welcome!

[@williamsnapp2605]

Thanks for the tour!

[@EISAlaska]

You bet!

[@jackarmer8560]

Love it had a great time going along with your family keep them coming great job

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks Jack! More to come!

[@michaelschaefer1943]

Much nicer than the trout hatchery I have been to in CT.

[@tonyschaff5683]

Love your sweatshirt go Montana thanks guys that was very informative very pretty country

[@dylantrinder1571]

Interesting little tour, that’s a cool salmon ladder. I was especially impressed with mums polarising glasses over the lens. Thank you for sharing.

[@EISAlaska]

Definitely going to get some polarized lens caps for the Go Pros, been meaning to for awhile.

[@dylantrinder1571]

@@EISAlaska that’d be great.

[@johnm1898]

Cool video. Thanks for posting.

[@alimitchell5346]

Fascinating 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@KelJayP]

My awesome hippie grandson from Arizona is on a salmon boat out of Sand Point right now. Before he left I said ~ Hey, these fish will be dead in 2-3 weeks either way ~ you catch them or they follow their instincts to swim upriver, where they die gasping on a beach and get eaten by bears. He thanked me and said it totally erased his guilty thoughts about the job. LOL!

[@EISAlaska]

Lol I love this comment, and its so true. I think many people don't understand that fact, that's when you get the people crying overfishing. An overpopulated stream is just as bad as an underpopulated stream. Too many salmon up the river leads to spread of disease and unhealthy malnourished stocks.

[@morganhemingway5262]

Now that was cool... Too bad you can't take a tour inside.

[@ravennelson827]

Very good video guys thank you....n blessings

[@ALLGODSDIE]

an amazing video on conservation ! i hunt & fish. it's a life style..

[@eriks9576]

If only the lower west coast fisheries managers could take some tips from you guys...... Always the debate between the native fish societies saying fish from hatcheries are ruining the wild genes. Responsible hatchery practice can all but eliminate that and benefit the land, the people and the fish. Greetings from Portland Oregon

[@josephmaschari1073]

Thanks for the imfo on the hatchery and the fishery. Have you seen the one in Valdez?

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks, glad you liked it Joseph. We haven't. Never been there unfortunately.

[@larrygwinn6649]

They make great smoked salmon candy

[@brinkee7674]

Chum Salmon have some delicious eggs for making ikura or caviar. Those things are monsters It amazes me that some consider the Chum/Dog salmon a junk fish only good for dog food. I think it tastes wonderful. Some say it's dry but I think it's all in cooking it Hopefully none of those diseases imported into Canada (Vancouver )with the Atlantic Salmon farms then spread to the local fish never makes it's way northWashington

[@EISAlaska]

We agree with you there. Chum is a delicious salmon and is quite oily. I wonder if those folks had their species mixed up. Chum cooks up moist and full of flavor.

[@jamesmurphy1480]

I’ve never seen a salmon hatchery but we have trout hatchery’s here in Arizona and it’s funny to see the male trout when they’re full grown and they have that hook like salmon

[@EISAlaska]

Hah, I bet.

[@thomasroberts9752]

Gives a birds eye view of the term packed like sardines...man they cant even move in that big tank

[@EISAlaska]

It was pretty impressive seeing so many fish.

[@kerrypitt9789]

I think it was only twenty years or a bit more since they found Chum Salmon could be caught with Sports gear! Pretty simple spoons and Bucktails in flashy red and purple. I think bright and flashy is the big thing! They are very good eating, the flesh is close grained. I do not fish for Salmon after they get in freshwater, they do not build up fat for the trip and I won't hurt their chances at spawning. I am not a popular person amongst Fishermen

[@russellgallagher7839]

Very interesting. Are these hatcheries a new thing to Alaska or have they been around for years?

[@EISAlaska]

They've been around for quite some time, this particular one since 60's I think the placard said.

[@cutbaitkenny]

Been there twice during cruise stops, bought a hat too, lol. Last time there, an otter at the bottom of the fish ladder catching fish. did you guys buy the boat you were looking at? We just enjoyed our last rockfish, I need to order some more. Enjoy your videos, thanks.

[@EISAlaska]

Oh awesome, Kenny! We actually did. Check out our latest!

[@cutbaitkenny]

@@EISAlaska good luck with it and safe passage back home. Whenare you going to start fishing again?

[@samtheman4958]

👍

[@davidhatcher1796]

Hi

[@jao1960]

❤️

[@michaelmount76]

Are you ever going to show us the catch???????

[@EISAlaska]

Lol, yes, yes, coming soon. We've been out of town for a month.

[@brinkee7674]

Actually the hatcheries and all conservation efforts are paid for by all outdoor sportsman it started with the Pittman-Robertson Act and now we have a Conservation Sales Tax along with others. They tax ALL gear used by outdoor sportsman recreational and commercial.

[@EISAlaska]

Most hatcheries in Alaska are non-profits permitted and funded through State of Alaska loan programs. They create economic opportunities for commercial fishermen by rebuilding or enhancing wild runs. They fund their operation from cost recovery fishing with the remaining return available to fishermen as common property. Here is link to DIPAC and the story of it's inception www.dipac.net/ladd-macaulay

[@АлександрБузов-т4э]

🤝👍👍👍🤝

[@dennykitchens8598]

They return to where they where released from in 3-5 years to lay there eggs and die your commercial license and Recreation license fees pay for that
