Never trade fish for gold? You should never say never. I bet the folks that live on the Kusko used to say the same thing. Now the Kusko and Yukon salmon returns are dismal. A record king no-show may be in the books this year. Gold, Donlin gold specifically, is starting to look good for Kusko residents. The same thing could happen to BB. Salmon returns could, and may likely, plummet like with the Kusko. And then how are you going to survive? Answer: You will turn to gold. Never say never.
