Wow, what and awesome trip Kevin, great part of your country, beautiful river and excellent fishing with a few awesome fish in the net too.Enjoyed the watch team, thanks, thumbs up and greetings from Down under,, Tony.
Hey Tony!! Thanks, brother! We definitely had a blast out there, and were happy to get some food and rest after the fishing and trek back to the car! I hope your week is going well. Tight lines, my friend 🙂✌️🎣
Definitely! People fish with spinning rods for sockeye salmon all the time. You use flies like I was using, but all the weight/split-shot you use allows you to cast the flies easily with a spinning rod. 🙂✌️🎣
Thanks man, I appreciate it. That would be really cool to fish and collaborate with you (and some other local Alaskan TH-camrs). Maybe next year I'll plan ahead of our trip and set up a group fish somewhere 🤙✌️🎣
That was such a sick fly session in Alaska! Congratulations to you both for limiting out on those beauty Salmon! You two worked very hard for those fish. Glad Yas Made it back with no injuries and hope you enjoyed your PB sandwiches! 😊
Brody, the sandwiches were so good haha!! I definitely needed that fat and protein! Thanks for watching, brother. Your video today was awesome! Stay safe and tight lines, brother! 🙂✌️🎣
You absolutely made my morning! In 2015 my wife and I had an epic day fishing for the Reds where you filmed this. The boulder across the stream matches the photos my wife and I took. What a great memory.
A VERY well done commercial for the Alaska State Game and Fish!!! You are SO GOOD at your craft (fishing) and your Videos are a Joy to watch, and they make me wish I Wasn't 67. You and your family ROCK!!!
Such an amazing video in Alaska Kev! You and Nancy slayed the salmon they are such cool looking and acrobatic fish. The Russian River’s current is so fast and beautiful too 👊🎣🔥💯
Yo Kev!! Yeah man, those sockeye cam battle, that's for sure! And then when you add in that strong current... It makes netting em a fun challenge! Thanks for watching, brother! Tight lines! 🙂✌️🎣
Hey! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment! It is a blast... Definitely an intense and adrenaline pumping battle when you hook one of em! Hope you guys are having a great week! 🤙✌️🎣
Hi and cool fishing session with your wife. I'm from Germany and stay in anchorage for a month. I planned a trip to Russian/Kenai River. So I saw that you used a fly, can I use a Spinning Rod with a #1 single hook and an softbait? What about catch an release? I have Wader Boots up to the hip, is that enouth? Is there any important regulation? Best Regards Martin🫡
I hope you have a really fun time in Anchorage and out on the Kenai and Russian. There are specific regulations regarding what lures you can use and the size of the hooks. If you go to a sporting goods store, you can probably find a copy of the regulations, or you can search for Russian River Kenai River fishing regulations online. Definitely read the regs before you go. Many people use spinning rods with the Russian River flies and do very well... The split shot added (18 inches above the fly) allows you to easily cast the flies with the spinning rod. You can buy Russian River flies at Walmart in Anchorage. 🙂✌️🎣
Haha wow man what an amazing time with your wife! Power couple vibes 🙌🏻 my girl and I watched it while having our dinner very much enjoyed the content 🤙🏼
Outstanding! Great tutorial and play by play announcing along with the complete description outlining the gear. Well done and thank you for that. Nancy is a real trooper!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yeah, we only visit Alaska for a month every year, but we always hit the river at least once during the month... A tradition my wife and I try to keep alive every year. 🙂✌️🎣
@@nathancrowe1489 oh, at the end I did mention flies that my uncle tied for me... But he just based the pattern off of RR flies. I caught a couple with his flies, which is always cool to catch with flies someone made for me. 🙂🙂✌️🎣
Hey friend!! Thanks! Yeah, we had a blast out there... Definitely a memorable day, although, every one of our days fishing that place is memorable! Hope you're having a great week. Take care! 🙂🙂✌️🎣
Everyone always says you have to floss the fish in the river cause they won’t bite.. but it looks like they’re biting here. Is it just a matter of it still being early in the run or something? Sweet video btw, heading out to the Russian for the first time this weekend!
Nice man, hope you have fun and get on some fish this weekend! I disagree with many about the "sockeye don't bite" thing; to me, they are like any other fish, where they bite (use their mouths) defensively even if they aren't eating. You can irritate them with the flies, and they will snap at the flies just to get rid of the irritant. So, they aren't biting to eat, but they'll still bite. 🤙✌️🎣

First time visit your TH-cam channel 👍,.. I'm enjoy watching your videos TH-cam channel,..
Very cool! Thanks for stopping by, watching, and leaving a comment. Take care! 🙂✌️🎣
Can you fish without using a fly rod?
Definitely! People fish with spinning rods for sockeye salmon all the time. You use flies like I was using, but all the weight/split-shot you use allows you to cast the flies easily with a spinning rod. 🙂✌️🎣
Awesome video would be great to fish with you sometime! So cool to see you are up here in Alaska been watching your vids since you came up last time

great video. August can't get here soon enough. I'd like to hear more about that fly pattern.
Russian River flies are a standard for sockeye salmon. You can get them for pretty cheap at Walmart or any tackle/fly shop in the area 🙂🙂✌️🎣
@@KevinRapkochFishing I thought I heard you mention something different. Have a box full of RR flies. Thanks !

🎉awesome job! time to smoke them.
Yo brother! We already had some fresh, 5 hours river to plate... It was delicious! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment, my friend! 🙂✌️🎣
June 11. A great day if you live in Southcentral Alaska. I sure do miss it this time of the year. January not so much….
Agreed! It's all Arizona fishing for me in the winters 🙂🙂✌️🎣
Wow, great! Where did you park your vehicle? Pink salmon?
Yeah, we were assigned to park there.
Human needs water and Go to the bathroom the waters polluted show off hunting trips Alaskas not over population
Say whaaaaaaa?!? 🤷🤷
What trail is that? Can it still be good for late run? From Idaho going up for a week
The Russian River is just an awesome place to fish, regardless of when (as long as it is open). Check regs 🤙🤙
Go to the bakers at the end of the day the dumpster for the dough they didn't use
Say whaaaaaaa??? 🤷
Looks like fun 🎉

no, it doesn't. It looks exactly like their being flossed.

Ok thank you sir
"bit it under the tree" 🤣😭
