You can tell that Amelia didn't work very hard for this catch but she seemed to enjoy herself. We put up 65 pounds of fish, frozen, smoked and canned. Copper River Reds are prized fish and go for about $17/pound. It was a lot of work but will be great to eat all winter long!

We recently loaded up the pickup and drove 7 hours to Chitina to go dipnetting on the Copper River. WE had a grand adventure and cought 29 fish. It was tiring fighting the current with the net but paid off. It took us over 7 hours to catch the fish.
