Can you believe it’s been over 10 years since the floating docks (fish hooks, fillet tables, scale ) have been put in Deshka? Pictured are some small early May Kings in 2012 —the last year the docks were in. Ryan and I cleaned up a lot of trash in the mouth area. We take great pride in taking care of the precious resources-rivers and land we enjoy. Thankyou 3 rivers for letting us dump the trash in their dumpster
