Fall starts early in Western Alaska, and while the first official day of fall might not be for a few more weeks, our dollies might say otherwise.
Each season, our huge run of chrome, anadromous, dolly varden enter our river in early-mid july. However, as fall spawners, they undergo a massive transformation to their spawning colors shown above by mid-late August.
That’s right in just over a month, our dollies go from dime-bright to clown-colors, and we just think that’s unbelievably cool.
