STEVEN SOCKEYE SALMONPound for pound, Sockeye Salmon are simply the best. I write to you because every fish in my redd insists my story be told. It is the story of all 501 of us who made it to the ocean and back without losing one Sockeye.It?s a story for your little button-bellies, hopefully they can learn as we did when we shattered conventionality and from the pieces built a better existence. Instead of shunning the puny and sick, the unfamiliar and different, we encouraged everyone to contribute to our great adventure.A great adventure existed every day for us during our short six-year life span. We started 5000 strong, crammed into a batch of eggs, roe is you like, in Sawtooth Creek deep in the mountains of Idaho. My siblings disappeared daily, gobbled up by birds and fish, washed downstream until only 501 of us remained.As teenagers we fought the turbines of many dams and pollutions of the button-bellies
