Inside The Town Taken Over By Fish



Inside The Town Taken Over By Fish

Hey Reader,

We just released a new episode of Unique America, and this one took us to a tiny town in upstate New York that becomes a completely different place every fall.

Pulaski is home to only about 2,500 people — but when the salmon start running up the river, thousands of fishermen pour into town. On the busiest weekends, the population can come close to tripling.

And you notice it almost immediately.

People are walking through downtown in waders. The river is packed shoulder-to-shoulder with fishermen. Tackle shops are opening in the middle of the night. Everywhere you turn, somebody is yelling “FISH ON!”

So naturally, we had to find out what was going on.

Over the next 48 hours, we tried to understand just how much this annual salmon run shapes Pulaski, meet some of the people whose livelihoods revolve around it… and, of course, see if we could actually catch one ourselves.

Our new episode, Inside The Town Taken Over By Fish, is live now.

This one ended up being much bigger than a fishing story, and we think you’re going to enjoy it.

Cheers,

Cole + Emily

Inside America’s Most Remote East Coast Community Hey Reader, Our newest episode of Unique America takes us 20 miles off the coast of Maine to a tiny island community called Matinicus. There’s no grocery store. No restaurants. The ferry only comes a few times a month. And before we arrived, we had been warned more than once that this was a very small, tight-knit community. So naturally, we had a lot of questions. How do you get groceries when the mainland is 20 miles away? What happens when...

Inside the Marine's Most Unique Tradition Hey Reader, Our newest episode of Unique America is live, and this is one we’ve been especially excited to share with you. We were given rare access inside Marine Barracks Washington, 8th & I, where we spent two days training alongside the Marines entrusted with representing the Marine Corps through some of its most important traditions and ceremonies. And when we say training alongside them, we mean it. We put on the uniform. We learned ceremonial...

Inside The 10,000-Year-Old Wild Blueberry Harvest Hey Reader, Our newest episode of Unique America is live, and this one completely changed the way we look at blueberries. We traveled to Downeast Maine to spend the harvest with a family that has been caring for these wild blueberry barrens for generations. And here's the part that fascinated us... they never planted the blueberries. They grow naturally there, produce a crop every other year, and when they're finally ready, the family has a...
