Dipnetting at the mouth of the Kenai River

Alaska. A fisherman dressed in a bright orange survival suit pulls a sockeye (red) salmon from the water with a long-handled dipnet in July along the north beach at the mouth of the Kenai River. In the background, two fishing boats work their way into Cook Inlet. The short dipnetting personal use fishery is immensely popular as thousands of visitors swell the local population of the town and surrounding area.
