dipnet

The personal-use dipnet fishery on the Kenai opened Monday morning, and on Thursday, a modest group of anglers pulled in sockeye. Fish & Game says the fishery is off to a slow start, but will pick up in the coming weeks.

The personal-use fishery at the mouth of the Kasilof River has become more popular in recent years. Last year, the river's sockeye run hit records — and current passage through the river is pointing to another big year.

A record number of sockeye salmon passed through the sonar on the Kasilof River Wednesday. The Kenai River, meanwhile, had its eighth highest daily count recorded since 1979, according to Fish and Game.

Anglers flock to the mouth of the Kenai River every July to participate in the dipnet fishery. But participation in the Kenai dipnet has actually decreased in the last few years as it’s increased on the Kasilof, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
