A DAY AT THE BEACH - KENAI RIVER

WOW!!! Wait until you see these pictures of dip netting!! This is where Alaska residents are entitled to this wild fishing!! There's a period in July where residents just use these HUGH nets( they sell for $125) to net the sockeye salmon. They are entitled to 25 salmon plus 10 more for each member of the family. That's 55 sockeyes for a family of four! That's an average of 550 pounds of salmon- or about three, average size midwest whitetails!!

                                                      They camp right on the beach!



                                                           Fishing on both sides of the river


Elbow to elbow fishing as far as you can see!



                                          Dip nets are 5 ft diameter with 10-15 ft handles


Variety of handles


They clean them right on the beach

No bikinis here!!!


                                                                 Fishing hopping



AMAZING!!



                                                      Fish heads EVERYWHERE!!
