  • Dip netting on the Copper River has become an annual adventure that never disappoints. Each year is different and present its own unique challenges. This year's challenge seemed to be finding a place that would produce fish. I checked at least ten different places before I found a location that consistently provided fish. There were two other dip netters, just 20 yards from me, that only caught one fish during my 2 hour melee. I would say fickle was the one word that summed up this trip. Anyway, come along for a fantastic trip dip netting sockeye salmon, and king salmon, on the copper river.

    I will not let the Copper River intimidate me. I plan on heading down again with my brother. I am glade you got some fish. Love the set up with jarring your catch. I got me a double burner stove this morning. Will update you on how it went.

    Copper River salmon has been my favorite food to eat for years. Fishing wasn't my forte when we lived in Alaska; however, we never dip-netted the Copper River. I would love to try it if I ever went back, but I can see all of the gear it takes to be comfortable. Thank you for the video I thoroughly enjoyed it.

      Thank you so much. It is one of the more rigorous events that I do.

    Great adventure! I'm headed to the Copper in a couple of weeks for some freezer filling fun.

    Copper River dipnetting always looks like quite the adventure. Would love to give it a try someday.

      It is a fantastic, a very rigorous adventure. Each year, as soon as I’m done, I start looking forward to the following year. It is really a hoot.

    That looks like a young man’s sport climbing up and down like that but rewarding I’m sure Mooresville NC

      I totally agree, dipping on the Copper is for young stallions. It took me three days to heal up from this trip. 😂

    Heads up
    June 24 20:01am was the end of retention of king salmon in the copper river and all tributaries. So u must have went before this vid hopefully. Love the vids this emergency order came out last Thursday

    • @RaisedinAlaska
      @RaisedinAlaska  Před 4 dny +1

      Thank you. I always check with Fish and Game, just before I go, to make sure there are not any new EO’s in effect. That is a great point that I should have included. 👍🏽

  • @TrapperScottyAlaskan
    @TrapperScottyAlaskan Před 7 dny +2

    You would have caught fish at every spot if the were running. The back eddy makes your net fly correctly.

    • @RaisedinAlaska
      @RaisedinAlaska  Před 7 dny +1

      Yeah, the back eddie makes it a lot easier to fish.

      Sockeye, for most people, are considered the best table fair of the salmon species. Yum 😋
