Thank you for visiting the online auction page to benefit the campaign to protect one of the world’s greatest fishing and hunting destinations – Alaska’s famed Bristol Bay. This region is home to the world’s largest runs of wild Pacific salmon as well as the best trophy rainbow trout fishing on the planet. Anglers come to pursue those fish as well as Dolly Varden, arctic char, arctic grayling, lake trout, and pike. Hunters visit southwest Alaska to hunt caribou, moose, and bear. This area is truly a sportsman’s paradise, but unfortunately it’s in great peril. Multinational mining corporations are proposing to turn this remote, fish and game-rich area into a massive mining district complete with huge open pits, toxic tailings lakes, and some of the largest dams in the world.
These auctions would not be possible without the generosity and support of so many companies in the sporting products industry. You will find fishing rods, reels, waders, other gear, artwork, and trips to some fantastic destinations in Alaska as well as other parts of the globe. The Sportsman’s Alliance for Alaska and the campaign to protect Bristol Bay would like to extend a very sincere thank you to all of the donors who contributed to this fundraising effort.
