Southeast Alaska\, while only 5% of the state land base\, accounts for 35% of the harvest. The Tongass National Forest is a very large part of Southeast Alaska and produces a lot of salmon\, but there are also harvested salmon from trans-boundary (Canadian) rivers\, hatcheries\, and other systems in Canada\, Oregon\, and Washington.  This begs the following question.\n\n \n\nWhat are the numbers of wild salmon produced from Tongass National Forest lakes\, rivers\, and streams?\n\n\n\nUsing data and information from ADF&G and Fisheries Researchers\, we can establish these numbers and annual harvest and value averages for the years 1994 through 2013\, for the salmon produced from the Tongass National Forest.\n\n\n\n\n\nBiography \n\nRon is currently the Fisheries Program Manager for the Tongass National Forest and has lived and worked in Southeast Alaska for 25 years.  Like most Fisheries Biologists\, he started his fish interest by growing up fishing in both fresh and salt water along the Pacific.  He was introduced to salmon at Humboldt State University in Arcata\, California.  After graduating\, he went to work on several Northwest National Forests\, before deciding it really could not get any better than working and living amidst the great\, natural runs of salmon of Southeast Alaska
