Klamath River tribes to hold wild salmon bake to kick off SalmonAid event

May 28, 2008. Members of the Karuk, Yurok, and Hoopa Tribes will host a traditional salmon bake on eve of Salmon Aid. Tribal drummers and singers will perform and share fire roasted Klamath Spring Salmon with the public.

I get hungry just looking...

The event will take place Friday, May 30, at Ocean Beach, San Francisco . Fire starts at 4:30 p.m.; and the fish will be ready to serve around 6:30 p.m. Look for the fire pit one block south of the intersection of Fulton Street and the Great Highway. Participants include fishermen, cooks, singers, and drummers from the Karuk, Yurok, and Hoopa Tribes.

Tribal members hope to build support for the removal of the lower four Klamath River dams. Since ocean salmon fishing is banned this year and the Klamath is the only river where salmon fishing will be allowed, this may be the only chance many will get to taste fresh wild salmon this year.
