Dry Dog Food Cutting at Rampart Rapids - Stan Zuray

For as long as anyone can remember people have been cutting and drying fish on the Yukon River and multitudes of other rivers everywhere. While still common in Alaska the large scale practice of it is becoming a thing of the past elsewhere. Drying fish is necessary to reduce the weight for traveling and preservation in warmer weather. The weight of food needed to feed dogs makes up most of the load when a trapper heads out on the trail for multiple nights. Whole frozen fish is not an option so it must be dried. I have cut an average 1000 fish each year since 1973. Everyone cuts it different but results are pretty much the same. The much prized King salmon are used for people food only, but species such as Chum and Coho salmon and many whitefish types are used for both dog and people food.
