Dipnetting, fishing like you've never seen it before. This scene is just below our campground where hundreds of Alaskans are dipnetting in the Kenai River where it flows into Cook Inlet. It is a popular way for Alaskans to fill their freezers with fresh salmon for the winter. To dipnet, anglers stand waist deep in the water holding large nets with long handles. Each Alaskan family is allowed to catch 25 salmon. Some additional pictures will be with the email.Today was travel day one of two to Palmer, AK. In that is was a short travel day, only covering 92 miles, a pancake breakfast was held before we left Homer. The day was sunny and beautiful. Once in Kenai, we went to the Visitors Center, the City Dock on the Kenai River and North Beach, which is where the dipnetters were.
