“I just got back from turning the fire on at my camp to smoke the fish. I smoke it for as long as I can through out the day, and then at night time I make the last fire, then come early in the morning to make sure the flies don’t get to the fish. I will bring it back to town when it’s dry or half dried. The fishing season has been slow. It’s finally picking up. This is usually when it picks up.” — Wallace Field is Inupiaq and lives in Noorvik, Alaska. Pictured behind Wallace is his fish camp on Nazuruk Channel of Kobuk River across from Noorvik.
