Dip-netting open on Kasilof, Kenai Rivers

The Kenai River personal-use dip net fishery opened Sunday on a high point. Not only was the weather sunny and warm, but unusually high numbers of sockeye salmon greeted participants of the resident-only fishery.
Dip-netters line the north bank of the Kasilof River last week. The sockeye run started slow in returning to the Kasilof. On the Kenai River, by contrast, huge numbers of sockeye greeted dip-netters on opening day July 10.
