OUR STORY

We are Luke and Kayla Wilson.

As a lifelong Bristol Bay fisherman and wife of a lifelong Bristol Bay fisherman, participating together in the world’s largest salmon run is an integral part of our life. We met at Bemidji State University in Northern Minnesota back in 2011 and not long after, we started fishing together in Alaska- Luke teaching me the trade, just how his dad did when he was a young boy. We not only commercial fish the largest salmon fishery, but we also subsistence fish, as a means to put the freshest sockeye salmon on our family’s table. We can’t wait to pass down our love of the fishery to our children and future generations, as was done to us.
