We recently had the opportunity to Dipnetting for Salmon. While there are many locations in Alaska to fish, the Copper River in Chitina offers some of the best Salmon in the entire State.
Dipnetting can become very dangerous if not equipped properly, and it is best to prepare before hand by learning more about the Copper River, equipment needed and safety.
As a household of 5, we are permitted to catch up to 65 salmon. This time, however we did not catch any which only means we will be back soon.
Please find dipnetting resources below to learn more and please don’t hesitate to send any questions you may have.
