Salmon Run 2022
What makes the Salmon Run fun? First, we try to make it more of a relaxed, friendly event, rather than a contest. That’s why we all shut down on Saturday night…because only contesters stay up all night. Secondly, we don’t ambush the Salmon or allow gillnetting by announcing where you’ll find the Salmon, e.g., the W7DX bonus station. Finally, we encourage our fellow Washingtonians to deploy throughout the state, even into the lightly populated counties and set up portable, or expedition stations for the weekend.
