Dip-netting

Last weekend Brian made it out to Chitna with his father dip-netting. They came back with 16 well-earned red salmon. Dip-netting (for those of you who aren't familiar with the term) involves fishing with a big net and a long pole instead of a rod and reel. The salmon are so thick while swimming upstream, that they can be caught with just a net. Bringing a 4-wheeler made the trek back from the river easier...and more fun, I imagine. This is a beautiful state, and I never tire of photos of the mountains.


Brian's father got a double-dip and caught two red salmon in one stroke!
Before long it will be time to put the plow on the 4-wheeler to clear the driveway.





Here's one of Brian's self-portraits.
