Join us on an absolutely AWESOME day of fishing the INCREDIBLE Russian River in Alaska. This video outlines the general gear needed to fish the Sockeye Salmon run in this river, and shows both my wife and I catching our limits, which was 3 salmon per person.
My wife and I have fished this river together in the summer for the past 5 years or so, and it is always very special to be able to catch these awesome fish with her, as she is from Alaska and the Russian River is near and dear to her heart.
Thank you so much for watching. Please remember to hit that LIKE button if you enjoyed the video! Tight lines, everybody!

You absolutely made my morning! In 2015 my wife and I had an epic day fishing for the Reds where you filmed this. The boulder across the stream matches the photos my wife and I took. What a great memory.

Hi and cool fishing session with your wife. I'm from Germany and stay in anchorage for a month. I planned a trip to Russian/Kenai River. So I saw that you used a fly, can I use a Spinning Rod with a #1 single hook and an softbait? What about catch an release? I have Wader Boots up to the hip, is that enouth? Is there any important regulation? Best Regards Martin🫡
@KevinRapkochFishing
@KevinRapkochFishing 10 күн бұрын
I hope you have a really fun time in Anchorage and out on the Kenai and Russian. There are specific regulations regarding what lures you can use and the size of the hooks. If you go to a sporting goods store, you can probably find a copy of the regulations, or you can search for Russian River Kenai River fishing regulations online. Definitely read the regs before you go. Many people use spinning rods with the Russian River flies and do very well... The split shot added (18 inches above the fly) allows you to easily cast the flies with the spinning rod. You can buy Russian River flies at Walmart in Anchorage. 🙂✌️🎣

Definitely! People fish with spinning rods for sockeye salmon all the time. You use flies like I was using, but all the weight/split-shot you use allows you to cast the flies easily with a spinning rod. 🙂✌️🎣

Everyone always says you have to floss the fish in the river cause they won’t bite.. but it looks like they’re biting here. Is it just a matter of it still being early in the run or something? Sweet video btw, heading out to the Russian for the first time this weekend!
@KevinRapkochFishing
@KevinRapkochFishing 21 күн бұрын
Nice man, hope you have fun and get on some fish this weekend! I disagree with many about the "sockeye don't bite" thing; to me, they are like any other fish, where they bite (use their mouths) defensively even if they aren't eating. You can irritate them with the flies, and they will snap at the flies just to get rid of the irritant. So, they aren't biting to eat, but they'll still bite. 🤙✌️🎣
