Whether you blame the cool temperatures, catastrophic climate changes
or just a stubborn salmon population this summer, the key to this
season’s fishing success is an infinite supply of patience. And sometimes that patience has more to do with other anglers on the water than the fish themselves. There’s nothing more infuriating than a smug angler. As you stand in a cold drizzle for several hours, monotonously casting a rain-soaked fly into choppy Nick Dudiak waters, some first-time fisherman will stumble across the rocks, dragging his dirt-covered lure into the lagoon — a ray of sunshine undoubtedly shining down upon him through dark clouds. Looking for even more ways to give Homer youth what they want, staff with the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies worked to develop a teen camp that would introduce campers to forensic techniques, while letting them explore the mysteries of wildlife around them. “We had a kids’ council, and many of the young teens told us they would like to see more programs and camps for teens,” said Program Coordinator Beth Trowbridge. “We came up with the idea of Wildlife Science Investigation — tying into the whole crime scene investigation craze — only this is wildlife forensics.” |
