We headed down to the Copper River on Saturday, July 23 with the Darrow Family. The fishing reports had been poor, but we were pretty sure that there would be decent numbers of fish to fill our coolers. We dip-netted for a couple hours that evening and got 15 fish, a little slow but not bad.
Sunday morning things started picked up and by afternoon we were averaging 20 fish per hour. We ended up with 98 sockeye and 2 king salmon. Not bad for about 10 hours with of dipping! We knew it was time to quit fishing when my last haul landed me on my butt on the bottom of the boat with a king salmon in my lap, a bent dip net handle and a ripped up net.
