Joint US and Canada Salmon Enhancement Program

 This Super Otter has 900 Horse Continuous...It's a really big plane.  This Ward Air flight is out of  Juneau, Alaska and it's passengers today are 562,000 Sockeye Salmon fry.  First lake water is sucked up and circulated in the carrying container. Then after a lesson from Ed, the pilot,on how to hold the release hose so that the fingerlings don't hit you in the face and also so that the fingerlings don't break their back upon hitting the lake surface, the little fish are released into their new home where they will stay for a year and then head out .... finally hitting the Ocean near Juneau, Alaska.  Then after about 4 years they will return to this Canadian lake... if they get by all the commercial fishermen.
