"Passion Called Salmon" DVD
A sense of glorious salmon rivers comes through a new 110-min. DVD entitled Passion Called Salmon. This DVD is available through ASF, and follows Sasha Savic on salmon rivers including the Cascapedia, Alta, and Russia's Yokanga. Thanks to the producer, all sales through ASF go directly to supporting ASF's conservation projects. One thing - for simplest, cheapest Canada Post shipping, order through the phone number listed at the item's store page. Otherwise a glitch in the online ordering sends it Fedex at higher cost.
Look for the DVD on ASF's front page. A trailer on YouTube can be reached through the links as well:
