John Jinishian is the owner and lead guide at Alaska Wild River Fishing, which operates out of Dillingham.
Jinishian has guided group trips on the rivers surrounding the bay for seven years. The summer season is packed.
“So we are fully booked up for the season, he said. We had to turn away over a dozen people for this year and re-book some for next year.”
But lots of fishermen doesn’t mean lots of fish. When Jinishian led his first trip of the season July 11-15, he was surprised.
“The fishing last week was as slow as I ve ever seen it on the refuge, Jinishian said. If we had operated the week prior, we would have had nothing to deal with besides resident species, so the fishing was tough from pretty much anyone s perspective.”

With an eye to the future while honoring the legacy of a local artist, The Art Center of Western Colorado is getting ready for some big changes.
It has launched a $600,000 capital campaign to create a gallery space that will be named for the late Jac Kephart while also making some muchneeded upgrades to its 13,000-square-foot building at 1803 N. Seventh St.
Kephart, who died in 2019, was a painter and mixed-media artist who mentored a number of local artists and inspired many others. His work is in collections around the world and was carried by galleries across the United States.
A generous donor has given $300,000 to create the Jac Kephart Gallery at The Art Center and another $150,000 has been given to the effort by other donors, said Lee Borden, executive director for The Art Center.
