A small fishing apparel company, Home Waters Co., is selling merchandise to save Bristol Bay — a watershed that is considered to be a wild salmon powerhouse in southwest Alaska.
As wild salmon populations decline globally, Bristol Bay’s wild salmon runs and the economies they support make it a place of international importance. For years, the region faced a massive threat from the proposed Pebble mine, as well as hard rock mining on adjacent state and federal land. Learn more about the proposed Pebble Mine.

Home Waters Co. is a fishing apparel business committed to the conservation of special places. 21 year old founder Hunter Evans is an artist who hand draws all the designs. He’s created a unique sockeye salmon t-shirt that gives back 25% of proceeds to Trout Unlimited’s Save Bristol Bay campaign. Order you shirt here today.
