what a gauntlet

[Ambassador]

Like the Cap Coho massacre in ultra slow motion.

I Personally would not call this fishing; but that is just my personal opinion. There not even giving the fish an even chance.

[leapin' tyee]

I Personally would not call this fishing; 

Is call dipnet for salmon.

[cutthroat22]

I'd prefer to net my fish rather than flossing them.

[Fish Assassin]

I wonder how they catch salmon when nets are 3 feet apart and side by side.

[jettabambino]

I personally liked when the lady mentioned that it takes 4 hours or so to set up
She then mentions they got to the river at 5 and started fishing at 6... 

Hope he math isn't as challenged when she is counting limits. 

I think this is ridic.   Rod and reel should be the only way. 

[nickredway]

Looks a lot more civilized than the Fraser!

The other way to fish in Alaska - by the original fishers.

Some of you guys are way out to lunch with this one.  Nobody there thinks this is fishing in a sporting sense.  As a resident of Alaska, you are allowed to harvest a set limit of sockeye per year for the winter.  I have no problem with what they are doing and if I were them, I would be doing the same thing.

To be fair, I think in alaska, dipnetting is part of 'personal use' which is a distinctly defined category apart from sport fishing. Those participating know its just a harvest and there is no pretense of fair chase or sport. Even here, dont we allow dipnets for smelt, herring, etc?

I'd prefer to net my fish rather than flossing them.

Thats an interesting option but I think I like it. Allow personal dipnetting for salmon within specific boundaries of the Fraser for those who only care about filling the freezer and ban the BB/flossing so such techniques dont infest other waters any worse than they already are.

Of course it would never happen and no idea if dipnetting would be even remotely effective at getting fish in the Fraser, but just as a concept, it would create a clear boundary between harvest and sport both legally and ethically and could be regulated as such...

[bigblockfox]

i think that would be a little dangerous on the fraser.

[Dogbreath]

Over the years they've managed to slaughter almost all the monster Spring Salmon on the Kenai but don't like to talk about it now.
