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.

Can you fish without using a fly rod?

@KevinRapkochFishing

Ай бұрын

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. 🙂✌️🎣

Go to the bakers at the end of the day the dumpster for the dough they didn't use

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🫡

@KevinRapkochFishing

Ай бұрын

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. 🙂✌️🎣

What trail is that? Can it still be good for late run? From Idaho going up for a week

Wow, great! Where did you park your vehicle? Pink salmon?

@KevinRapkochFishing

Ай бұрын

Yeah, we were assigned to park there.

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!

@KevinRapkochFishing

Ай бұрын

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. 🤙✌️🎣
