A glimpse into Captain Jim's lifelong maritime past where he built his career and deep respect for the water long before he brought that experience to the Snake River. F/V Mary J circa 1980, one of the vessels he owned and operated during his years in Alaska's commercial fishing industry, a legendary crab boat still fishing the Alaskan waters TODAY!

"Bloom Where You're Planted" this famous maxim is widely credited to Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622) the Catholic Bishop of Geneva Switzerland. The phrase encapsulates his belief to find purpose in your current state rather than wishing for different circumstances. The blooming plants of the basalt columns along the Snake River is an excellent representation of this belief. We hope you have a GREAT day, friends of Hells Canyon!
