Coles Cheating Death: Salmon Fishing the Copper River and Prince William Sound, Alaska at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

Struggles to survive, passion, determination, friendship, community, the beauty of Prince William Sound, and change are a big part of my story. When I began gillnetting, I was one of half a dozen women who fished alone. Most fishermen gave me respect, a couple kept an eye on me, and all of them helped if they saw me in trouble, including those who had shaken their heads and questioned what the heck I was doing with a fishing boat. On the water equality finds a balance. We all know the other boat might be the one to save our life. I was young, indestructible, adventurous, and too ignorant to have fear. By the time I understood the dangers of fishing, I had fishing in my blood and thought if I was careful, I could avoid the threat of death in the wild. I accepted that one day death might happen to me. Knowing a fisherman died every year let me know the threat was real. Believing I wouldn't be the one lost allowed me to leave the harbor. Deep inside I knew that one day I could be the one. Accepting that I could die any day gave me a unique perspective on living.
