Leaper at The Bend – Ten Pounds of Silver two feet in the air at the juncture where Chignik Lake, to Barbra’s left, necks down and becomes Chignik River, to Barbra’s right. The village of Chignik Lake is on this near shore, less than half a mile up the lake. Approximately six miles from this spot, the river enters the salt waters ofthe estuary at Chignik Lagoon. Here at the early peak of the Coho Salmon run in early September, though most of the flowers are finished and summertime nesting birds are gone, low along the water alders are still wearing summer green; higher up the slopes, vegetation is autumn gold.
