Yukon River Fish Wheel Set out in Current - Stan Zuray
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2015
- Large fish wheels are massively heavy and unable to be manhandled. With some forethought and the right gear you can get the wheel and nature to work together and save a lot of work. Setting a wheel in the current like this is just one of many steps towards getting it fishing.

Stan I cant thank you enough for sharing your time with us. I've learned so much from you in the Bush. Thanks for sharing. Jerome.
I've watched some others set theres up and they screw around so much. Just watching them i thought of this very setup. You could use 2 poles to the bank but still do it one man. Let the river do the work. Awesome work Stan.

Stan Zuray,un esempio di vita.Grazie Stan
Stan is the man. I love your family. Best of luck!
This is what experience looks like
Thanks so much 🙏💓. Many blessings upon your family Amen 🙏
Thanks for posting Stan hope you have a successful fishing season for you and the dog team for 2015!
I hope they can bring back the show we really enjoyed watching it. for us living in the uk and we live in the city it was an eye opener watching those very special people live there lives the way they do.to us it’s a bit scary because we don’t get the bad weather like they do in Alaska. Anyway good luck to the people of tanana i think they need a bit of luck.
Stan that was seriously cool. Smooth operation Sir!

Saludos Stan Zuray me gusta mucho su programa en Discovery! Me gusta mucho cuándo salen a cazar con su hijo!! Saludos de México!!
That’s some amazing skills my Man! Well done
It just takes the right, one person. Awesome
You make that look so easy,man!
That's an amazing life being on the nature
Wow what an awsome way of setting that massive fish wheel!
You guys in Tanana are just amazing.
Looking forward to your next vids (hopefully one with Joey too :) )
Greetings from Germany and good luck with the king's ;)
Hanapa’a! Nice rig Stan.
Thanks Stan! Great Job!
It's beautiful
i missed yukon men.... is there any chance that we will be watching you guys in a new episode again? you're my hero btw. regards to joey, my idol. and to kate, sweet and nice person...
Nice. I remember when you do not tie your 🚤 on the rocks and you go to swim trying to catch it.
Very close call.
Hi Stan I am still checking out all of your videos it’s cool to see ya. Bill Lynch
Hi Bill - good to hear from you
Stan , you and ol Charlie , you da man !
Thanks Stan 😊
Amazing old school technology.
Well done sir!
stan you do become easy operations very difficult
you are the number one
gianni martinelli Have to admit I was kind of being funny and showing how easy that moment was. Much of the setup is a lot of tedious hard heavy work. And often not at all that smooth. Love the setting in current moment though.
Brazilian I love ys channel
Hey Stan sou aqui um fan brasileiro desse estilo de vida admirável.
Um dia quem sabe chegarei aí ;-)
It's beautiful up there.
We used to use a 4 scooper down around Chitna on the Copper River
Familiar with some 3 basket ones but never seen 4 work. Wonder how it did.
@@stanzuray It worked awesome,,we were set up by the bridge in Chitna for a few years then down the dirt road around Obrien creek..If i remember right it was made of conduit
muito bom stan zuray 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Muito bom ! Brasil assistindo
Good job
Thanks
Very nice
Boston ingenuity right there! Awesome!
hell of invention
Adoro ,o programa homens do gelo no qual vc faz parte
How many of these have you built in your time up in Alaska? Also do you ever pull out any other kids of fish besides Salmon using this? Has one of these ever broke free and went down stream and you lost it? Great video as always...
Heith Gagnon Only 6 wheels so far but they were all long lasting ones. We get all sorts of whitefish and sheefish also. Basically anything that migrates up the Yukon. Happens every now and then. Logs pile up and stress cables that break during high water times. Wind has broken them apart and whole baskets disappeared downriver. I lost one but found it 10 miles downriver stuck by the shore when a poor tie up broke. Not fun stuff.
Hi Stan when is the next Yukon men back on loved watching u and your son keep up the good work
Lokasi alam sekitar amat begitu indah dan alami akan tetapi mengapa air sungai nya keruh
In summer the glaciers are melting and the river banks are eroding silt. In winter the river is crystal clear.
какая природа 👍🏻
Muito bom
Nice banget
very interesting
Nice video, but it looks a dangerous and risky job.Thanks for sharing
Ron popiel would be proud : set it and forget it .....
DANG PRETTY AMAZING INVENTION
Outstanding video! That was SUPER clear video, what kind of camera are you using?
Bill Miller Nikon AW 100 waterproof. Use the video part which seems better than my HD camcorder which is made for video. Also I carry a camera each day in summer for years now and even when working hard and dirty. Use to go through one each year until I got this one cause the zoom lens part doesn't get all silted up and sticky and busted - it's tough. One of the camera guys on the Yukon Men show had one and said it was a solid quality camera. I need one that is always on my belt - small and simple and tough. Always buy waterproof not cause of water but because they keep out dirt which kills cameras.
Good
Old dude one day just got overly frustrated trying to untie the knots in his reel.
Awesome , Thanks!! So Cool! You must be part Cajun!!! Ha!

The fish are swimming against the current when you use these correct?
Yes some of them go 1500 miles on no food intake at all. From the ocean upriver into Canada. Wheels turn by current
Fantastic to watch the current take the wheel out Stan. What have you the cable tied off to?
I hope the wheel yields well for you. Best wishes to you and your family.
FISHERMANPADDY Main cable tied off to a 2' diameter live tree up in woods. Cable is about 400' and 1/2"
How many fish can you catch in a year? Do you have to have a special license?
I use to run a video monitoring fishwheel for many years which counted fish caught in padded baskets and released immediately. It ran 24 hours a day for almost 4 months and recorded numbers like 30,000 of all species. Any net or fishwheel in the right spot can do that. What people really catch for their use is as low as 50 for the season or as high as 2-3000 for a big family and say a dog team. No license is needed unless you use a fishing rod and do it for sport.
how old is the fish wheel? is there any year to year maintenance with it?
Lawrence oliver Wheel is 8 years old and still sound and does need maintenance but depending on how it's built it can make an incredibly difference. Some are only made to get 3 years or so out of but they are made fast. One like this one took me all summer to build but has never broke a nail or joint ever.
how do you hoot the kajigger in to compliance with your frigsaker all catawampus. don't the girls point and giggle?
Im from indonesia 🇮🇩💖🙏
This is how we fish here up the #north
Physics in action! It looks so simple but the planning must be the meticulous. where do you keep the fish wheel in foo season?
Yes I was showing off. There was a lot of cables that were at the right length and things done just so to get that video. That said I have seen 3 or 4 people struggle to get one out in current. I've been doing it a long time now.
Keep the wheel in the woods across the river at seasons end to next spring and it's all done again.
I was waiting for him too say "FFS forgot to tie the other end on" 😂😂😂😂
Would have made a good video
new friend
Is that completely legal in Alaska that's amazing wish we could do that Washington or Oregon Montana Maybe
waw keren
Nice fata
Wonder if it would work on ASAIN CARP ❗ 😬
works on any migrating fish heading upriver so I believe it would.
Oke
Viu tenho curiosidade de saber como se limpa um alse ou calibu
Saw I'm curious to know how to clean a alse or Calibu ???
Hey stan, why don't you cast net salmon? I watch the show and no one uses a cast net only gill nets.
Set nets and fish wheels catch fish while you are back at camp working and cutting fish. A cast net is only fishing while you are fishing it and have taken time out from work to fish it. I think that is the biggest reason.
Stan Zuray Oh OK thanks.
8 tons = eight tons
8 = la-pan
boat = sam-pan
motorbot = boat with engine
ок
In my country you go in jail for this machine, haha i love yukon

Like buttah
where in boston?
Dorchester (Adams Corner area)
@@stanzuraydon`t know area. did`t get your response. worked around neponset circle 1978. thanks
Stan zuray put up sausage making video please
I never will understand why the box that catches the fish is above the waterline. A box build with a heavy duty wire mash, set underneath the water would keep the fish alive and fresh. Plus you could release what ever got cought unintentional. All overall it would be more humanly though a little more complicated to build, but worth it I think...
Many people don't use just one species so use all the catch and don't need to let anything go. Live boxes such as I use on my wheel are a big hassle next to an open box on the raft. They keep fish fresher as you say and that is why I use them. Most people don't have them and just have to check their wheel a lot.
Stan Zuray so your box keeps them alive? Is it just filled with water? Down the river I just saw hundreds, if not thousands of dead fish on the shore, fish that got caught by wheels and just got thrown back in the river because they weren't the wanted species. Sad to watch. At least the eagles and bears took care of some of them... anyways, I thought a box that keeps them alive would solve it.

Quero morar ai 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Здорова.
hay quá anh ơi cá gì vậy ạ
That translate to "what's a fish sir". ???

That is what you call a man
Stan... how does discovery Channel treat you? Are the film crew nice people? Are they wimps or a tough guy like your self?
We do not have much contact with Discovery Channel people. The show is filmed by a smaller production company from NY and after all these years the regular film guys and head of the company are like family. They are very good to us and understanding of our lifestyle. Many of the camera men are nothing short of what I call world class outdoorsmen. One example that is easy to use is the guy that traveled with me for the first couple of years - he had been to the top of Mt Everest twice and done it since I last worked with him also. Been a good experience.
Stan Zuray Wow! I had no Idea... very interesting! Thanks so much for answering my question... love the show... I watch many episodes over and over again... I loved the old video you put up with the sled dogs on a run.. I watched the whole 27 minutes of it... thank you so much for sharing! Stay Warm!
Is it 441 Productions by any chance? We had them around for Friday Night Tykes
no - Paper Route Productions
Wow Stan you got that working pretty automatically ,The wife and I are watching the shows where ,Your son got brought back by plane from goose hunting when the Yukon ice let go ,You hauled the red emergency shack out for stranded people .Ps was sad to hear the pilot had passed away.
Что это?
It is a thing that catches migrating salmon and other fish.
Почему река такая мутная?
It's natural glacial and river bank silt and been like that as long as the Yukon has flowed.
?????
hey where is your son? i did watch u guys on TV
Aqua Man Joe made a run to the village of Tanana for supplies but is back and be setting the lead and getting wheel turning with me tomorrow.
Где рыба?)
This about just what the tiltle and description say. Got lots of videos about fish being caught etc. etc. - check them out
well I hope you're better at a fishing wheel than the video cuz you didn't give any information at all nobody knows how it works why it works or Wyatt will you even put it out there zero information
Hope your better also - see How I Ran a Fish Wheel on the Yukon River. ua-cam.com/video/7E3aCbAQ_c8/v-deo.html
Incomplete vid
Is what it is. I've seen multiple people take a half day to do the same thing. That's the point of the video.
@@stanzuray sorry Stan. We don’t get it down here in the warm 48. Didn’t look like a big deal cause I am ignorant of the process. Plus that was a liquid courage smart ass comment. My apologies. Maybe I’ll just shut up now.
@@DontStopBrent Sorry also for the reply as it's sometimes hard to get whole pictures from comments. I'm kinda a wise guy myself and get misread lots. Anyway I can't figure this video all these years as it is so short and I would think not that interesting but I get so many views from it. Take care, Stan
@@stanzuray you and I could be friends if we lived close. I’d come help you catch fish. :) Looking forward to seeing more of your world.
Dont like fish lah
Eat chicken
Prefer healthy food like wild salmon.
This is sad, you take all these fish out of the water to eat and feed to your dogs. Why?, can't you just go to the store and buy them🤣
For the same reason you go to the gas station to get gas. Also I can go to the store to buy fish and dog food and don't remember saying I could not but I would not own dogs if I had to do that.
Stan Zuray, It's a joke, people are always complaining about over fishing yet they forget that when they consume anything it is coming from somewhere. You keeping doing what you do, don't let a bunch of city people tell you how to live in the wild.
boring .... first 2 minutes just watching this thing float out
Many of the videos I do are for other reasons than entertainment of the general public. This one is simply to show a technique to people who struggle to set a wheel. I realize many people could care less.
What the hell?? No one understood totally irrelevant. Wtf
Good
