Wow!! Thanks for taking the time to check out our small channel. The Copper River is always a fun trip. You guys should try it out some time. Let us know if you need a guide to show you the ropes.
Great video. Absolutely love the copper river. I have my spot down past the train bridge. Haven't missed a season in 20 years. It definitely is my favorite thing to do in the summer. Something about that place puts me completely at ease. Super slow this year but It's October and i'm already planning next year.
I agree, there is just something about that place. Its gotten pretty full of people from when we started fishing this river but it still holds a place in my heart for an exciting way to get my fish for the year. Maybe I'll see you next year.
Well, just like your other videos that you have provided, this one is truly exciting. I have a cousin who lives in Delta Junction that also fishes the Copper river He has a friend who owns a fish wheel and he has sent me footage of them fileting and steaking salmon that they've gotten using the wheel. I used to live in Palmer and evidently you live in Wasilla. A close ten mile neighbor to Palmer. I plan on moving up this next spring to Wasilla. I'll be partnering with a ministry based at North Pole to minister to native tribes in AK. Perhaps our paths will cross. Would be great! Thank you for posting this video. Sure makes me home sick for AK. Being here in Arizona, I really long for Alaska. Thanks again for posting this. It's really appreciated. God bless you and yours!
Awesome video. I watched the WHOLE THING. I only have photos of Alaska from a jet on my way from mainland US to China. Now, this year, I'm planning to buy land in Alaska, since I retired 5 years ago and my wife and I want to live a second lifetime. Let's see how it all goes! I'm loving your videos.
@@wildwoodoffgridalaska I am not sure yet where I want to go... Anchorage is too dangerous for me (earthquakes) but I'd like to be near a good VA hospital somewhere, for sure. I definitely want to be where I can hunt and fish.
If you want to be close to VA you’ll need to stick close to anchorage or the MatSu Valley. I use the VA clinic in the valley and they have been amazing.
I was wondering if you were working on the place in Tok...instead you were working for food. LOL. That looked mighty nice. Anxious for the build to start in Tok though. As you are I'm sure. Y'all have a Blessed day.
I’m with you on that. Life has a funny way of changing you plans. I expected to be much further on the Tok place already. I do have the well scheduled to be drilled, so that’s progress. Stay tuned.
A little hint to get more meat from your salmon. Take a table spoon and scrape off the meat against the back bone. You get a good amount off one fish. and it adds up . It makes the best salmon alfraido to die for. Especially on those kings .You get about 2.5 pounds off them . Cheers from Ontario . Canada.
its a nice place, that is also my hobies in my tweties going fishing imn the river but now a days almost all the rivers in the phillipines are polluted, black mud,black water, fishy odor and fish in the river are not fit for consumption coz they are all contminated,i miss all the all days,because of your videos i can recall the 70s,thanks coz i call smell the fresh even only by my immagination
It can be dramatically reversed look up how bad the rivers in maine where when papermills an factory's where dumping then a maine resident that had polluted rivers when growing up became a politician got support now the water is clean with healthy fish and also ducks and other birds
2020, They shut the river down in August, and our plans were to hit it in the first week of them month. It was a terrible run for chitna reds. I at least got 29 coho out of a week trip, and a quick 3 day weekend turn and burn, on rod and reel, so the fish were just elsewhere I guess. I was bummed, because it was to be my first trip dipnetting, but we have to protect that resource
I go around Valdez. I'm not much of a fan of the combat fishing. Generally a buddy and I either take a crawdad out and fish just off shore, or we hike out on a point and strand ourselves for the tide. What we call "commando fishing". We have a week long trip, as well as a three day weekend the following weekend at peak silvers. Hit me if you want, and maybe we can meet up? I'm not too keen on posting the dates for anyone, so email me austinholmmcrae@gmail.com
We have some family friendly spots too, if you have older folks or kids. Generally Valdez has the strongest silver run from my own experience. I've tried a charter out of Homer, and shorefished Seward, but neither could beat Valdez
With this much Silt in the water you would think the Male and Female Salmon would have a hard time finding each other to lay eggs and have them fertilized. They must be able to smell each other or other ways they have to get together. How many miles from salt water were you dip netting these salmon, is the quality still real good.?
I’m not exactly sure the mileage to the ocean. The river flows down from Chitna to Cordova, but the quality of the fish is amazing, so fresh and delicious. In our opinion, by far the best tasting salmon we’ve ever had! 😊👍🏻
How do those items have anything to do with off grid. What, is someone that lives off grid supposed to be poor and struggle though adversity every step of the way? You need to seriously rethink you ideas on life.
After left Coos Bay Oregon and moved to Juneau in 1982 I always stuck to commercial fishing till the circulation got worse in my legs from being burned when I was 8. Now down here in southwest Oklahoma not many places to do much fishing that anyone can get much out of. Can't drive right now from a seizure when I was driving which leaves me stuck for doing much getting out. I miss commercial fishing. Been here since 2003 the woman I moved here to be with passed Sep 2009 cancer. The new lady I'm hoping will be I'm hoping she will want to go somewhere new to me and I can get to doing something new. I always wanted to commercial fish when i was young even in Oregon. I got to watch what I do I know legs got worse last February from spending the month in the hospital between Oklahoma City and Shawnee OK with pemonya.
Do you know how cruel it is to show cooking fish in a frying pan? I had to go looking around for some food! That large fish sure looked good. I hope the very best for you all! 😋🙂
i just spent $260 for 15 lbs of salmon from the alaskan sea food company... Salmon not from the copper river which would have cost me $360 .. which was the cheapest i could find salmon from Alaska..
Meanwhile the people who try to make a living out in the ocean at the entrance to the Copper River didn’t get a season. The wrong way to manage this fishery. No fishing should mean no fishing for everyone to protect and sustain the resource.
You can only truly be transformed by the renewing of your mind by accepting CHRIST as your salvation and redemption : Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

This meeting will totally change your earthly and eternal life ...... FOR EVER. 🤗💞🙏💞🙏💞🙏✌️👍
I really don’t like to criticize but if you were any slower at filleting fish you be going backwards still I appreciate all your videos I love the country you’re in, you do an excellent job on videos.
Thank you for the compliment and the criticism. I definitely take my time. I know some commercial fishermen that are blindingly fast and I’ll never be there. Have a great day and thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching. The time period that our fishing occurred it was legal to retain one King Salmon per permit. As of the 22nd king salmon was closed for retention. I guess we were lucky we went early.😁
Between tossing the bellies, tossing collars, and not scraping the tartar from the carcass, you sure are wasting ALOT of food. I understand that it's time consuming, but it's just a waste to toss it like that, and as a born and raised Alaskan myself; I was raised to treat what we take with the utmost respect, and to do everything in our power to waste as little as possible. That is just haphazard filleting imo. For needing the resource as a personal shopping market, there sure is a large amount going to waste
I appreciate your point of view. I’ve lived here for over 25 yrs and one thing I’ve learned about salmon fishing is that it’s a use it or loose it resource meaning that they are already in the river and going to die. As long as ADFG is managing the escapement numbers properly, then the resource is going to be sustainable and how I fillet has no bearing on that fact. Look at nature, a bear will catch a salmon and only eat the belly leaving the rest for the other creatures to eat. I use the entire salmon, just not in the way you do. I choose instead to either compost the waste or boil it down and feed my dogs. Either way the resource is being used. Thanks for watching and commenting.
True enough. I'd rather you contribute and take part, regardless of fillet skill. I also understand that dipnetting reds is alot different from using a rod and reel for silvers and Kings. Maybe I'm brainwashed into wasti g too much time on all of my fish. I mean, I even make fish head stock out of the carcasses and the heads, which is great in any Salmon chowder or bisque. Salmon dominates any flavor, so sadly it needs to just be salmon though. I really stretch what I can get out of my fish
I've also never been dipnetting, so the most fish I've ever had to fillet in one sitting must be around 20 max, silvers as they are what I primarily fish, so I have no idea what it's like to process all of those reds. I process all of my own fish, and I have heard that you can get an absolutely ridiculous amount of reds in just a short while dipnetting, so I'm sort of ignorant when it comes to that. I am just watching your video again, getting pumped for this fishing season!!!!
The lady has the most amazing positive energy. You’re a lucky man.
Thank you! We sure have fun together 😊
Fished the Kenia river several times , fantastic fishing and beautiful scenery.
Beautiful bit of salmon. We get lovely salmon as well here in Scotland 👍🌷
Had some good times dip netting back in the late 90's early 2000's. Thank you the video.
The good old days when you could still find a spot and not be crowded with people. 😁
I moved to Alaska 1959 living all over the state. Lived Anchorage, Spenard, Chitna, N. Pole, Valdez, Fairbanks, Glenallen, China hot springs, and a few others…. To old to remember now lol.

I feel so blessed to be able to harvest food from the land and sea. I just finished editing tomorrow’s video of my caribou hunt.

As someone who does this every year I’ve never been up there to the copper river to fish. Thinking about making the trip this year!
Hopefully this year we have a better run. It’s always a good time and beautiful scenery.
Very nice. I would love to try netting salmon.
If you get the chance, do it. It’s a ton of fun!!

Nice
Yes sir. Done properly one yaer
PS worked all over the State from Barrow to the Aleutian islands including the panhandle.
Awesome!
You can use a spoon to scrape the bones free of "salmon burger". 😊
you got it sussed bro wow you eat well bro
Carcass goes on the bbq. That’s what we called a guide fillet. Tons of meat on the ground there skipper
Chicken food.
Question/ sorry to getting off course have you ever thought about drilling down to bedrock and looking for gold on your new property?
No, there’s gold all over this area but I have never had the desire to pursue it in any real way.
I want the bellies!!lol
Do you spoon your carcasses and use the meat for burgers?

All the salmon spawn in clearer upriver tributaries of which there are many on the copper.

Wasting food go to Thailand to see how to eat a fish 😩😩😩u throwing a lot of meat
OMG you wasted the best parts of the salmon!!!! You throw away the belly meat?? The head??
Good compost and chicken food.
Don't pay attention to the signs that say..."DON'T GO PAST HERE"
Haven’t for 20 yrs.😊
Now if this was a Native American fishing every one would be hating
It’s a common practice for many Alaskans including Natives to subsistence or personal use fish. It’s a more efficient way to gather food.
@@wildwoodoffgridalaska watch my video on my chanel its me dipnetting also
If you need a dip net to catch fish,don't call yourself a fisherman.
Has nothing to do with need and you’re welcome to your opinion. 😁
Ron, it's a great way to harvest a bunch of high quality fish in a short time. Besides, reds don't bite so there's that.

Little bit wasteful man, the bellies and collars are the best part, anything worth doing is worth doing right!
Thanks for watching.
It was a great video other than that part though I enjoyed the video just wish you used the bellies and collars for smoking and or canning is all
I really don’t like to criticize but if you were any slower at filleting fish you be going backwards still I appreciate all your videos I love the country you’re in, you do an excellent job on videos.

You wasted lots of parts of the fish.when famine comes you will not throw anything.
When the day comes, I guess we’ll change our process. 😊
You can make fish soup out of the head and other bones. And you have lots of left over in the bones.
I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to be keeping kings right now
