    AWESOME. BRAVO. I am an amateur and I have a question. This fish is caught on an empty hook. In the clip at 1:39, only the Red Hook is visible. It's not music. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. THANK YOU

    It depends every year when the sockeye fishing is good, but the 3rd week in July is probably the best time to go. And limit starts at 3 fish, but once they start seeing a couple 100,000 days of fish coming through the river they will raise the limit to 6.

    Uh, no. I’ve lived on the lower river since 1982 and a plain hook is illegal. You need something on your line to make it a lure and bead or yarn is used the most. Some use flies. The size of the hook in the lower and middle river is unlimited. The only difference in the upper river regulations is the the gap of the hook has to be 3/8th inch or less.

    @@randytrimble3493 I honestly don’t know why it’s a regulation considering the technique used (which your video shows so well). It’s glorified snagging, but maybe requiring a “lure” makes it seem like it’s fair chase. Hope you can make it back to AK again. This year the pink salmon will overlap with the red salmon. The pink run is even larger than the red run. You can floss them too, but they are willing biters so we catch them on bait, spinners, plugs, jigs, spoons, just about anything.

    It's a place the locals call The Pipeline, across the river from Poacher's Cove. To get there on foot you have to park on and walk through land owned by CIRI, a Native American Corporation. Technically you need a permit from them to access their land, but I have never heard that they enforce it. There are reports that they may start doing so because of damage to their properties.

    Amateur hour, that is partly why indigenous won't for much longer let anglers pass over their land to the fishing spots. Not just damage to property (which this angler did not seem to commit) but total disrespect for the fish and catch. Disgusting.
