Income that Yakutat guides depend on from guiding for Situk River steelhead could be threatened if the Hubbard Glacier rams into Gilbert Point closing Russel Fiord. 

“It gets close many years at this time,” Larsen said. “This is closer than usual, but, on the other hand, there have been predictions made before about it closing off and it did not. When it does close, and if it stays closed, then that will be a very big deal and a real bummer for a lot of people.”
