The Gig Harbor Fly Shop is hosting a film event down at Tides this Wednesday and Thursday from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. The Sportsman Alliance for Alaska is trying to raise awareness about the proposed Pebble Mine in the headwaters of Bristol Bay, Alaska. If this open pit mine (largest in North America) ends up going in it will destroy this last wild salmon stronghold. These watersheds now at risk comprise of 30% of the world's sockeye runs with one of the rivers getting 60 million salmon itself. This will affect the sport fishing community, commercial fishing community, as well as native subsistence fishery. This also affects us in a big way. If the price of sockeye, king, and Coho go up because of these depleted stocks it will put pressure on our local fisheries here in Washington. Our fisheries are in a sad state and cannot handle any additional pressure. We are hosting a film screening of two really cool documentaries about the Pebble Mine at Tides Tavern this upcoming Wednesday and Thursday. Tickets are $5 each and we have all sorts of door prizes. If anyone has a blog, facebook, or twitter and could help us get the word out that would be great. Here's a link to our blog post with the info. click here <http://gigharborflyshop.blogspot.com/2010/01/red-gold-film-tides-tavern .html> Blake and Allison Merwin www.GigHarborFlyShop.com www.gigharborflyshop.blogspot.com
