On "EarthFix" we're doing a lot of environmental news coverage on salmon issues around the Pacific Northwest from river restoration projects to dam removals to federal policy updates. We've created this space to share ~other~ kinds of salmon content.

We want to see your photos, recipes, jokes, stories and whatever else interesting, fun and wacky you've come up with. We'll post the best stuff submitted and others we've "Tumbled" upon. Send submissions by clicking the pencil above or send them to "Toni at EarthFix".

What do you think? Would salmon like? -Toni urbananglerjournal: Blog created and now to start on the content. I think I will start with my designs for jigs for both Steelhead and salmon. I have included one that I created this past Friday without knowing what the hell I was doing. Still researching and learning to do better.
