I had always wanted to harvest some Harlequin Ducks and we floated right by some juvenile Harlequins the day before the season opened. Then after waterfowl season opened, of course they weren't to be found. Mostly say Shoves & Mergansers. Salmon numbers were very low so the Bear were eating Cranberries and headed to the mountains for a long Winter's rest. Saw lots of large Moose tracks but only found a paddle / shed. Very interesting trip for sure. I refer to it as the Aniak Suicide Safari 2022.
