Dirt Bag Salmon Fishing on the Russian River

[@MooseManNaturePhotos]

Great haul. And a fun/productive trip! (Delicious too!)

[@RaisedinAlaska]

Thank you.

Sockeye salmon aren't really big, but they don't have any quit in them. I think the forecast is for another great run this summer too.

[@RaisedinAlaska]

I’m looking forward to the season. 🎣

[@MyAlaska12]

Are the fish running already? nice amount of salmon. Thanks for sharing

[@RaisedinAlaska]

This trip is from last summer. 🎣

Great trip.

Is this upstream past the sanctuary?

[@RaisedinAlaska]

This is just upstream from the confluence a mile or so.

[@beefpanda4313]

Thanks for answering. I guess I always assumed you can only go down stream, never went upstream from the confluence and tried. Looks more peaceful. Haha. Thanks!

[@RaisedinAlaska]

@beefpanda4313 You bet. It can get crowded, but first thing in the morning generally will get you a good spot.

You're going to make me jealous if you post too many salmon fishing videos 😂.

[@RaisedinAlaska]

I got more coming. 😁

[@loliyana2577]

What do you use to catch salmon? and what's the limit in a day?

[@RaisedinAlaska]

That is a great question. It really depends on the variety of salmon that you’re fishing for. And this video I was fishing for sockeye salmon and so I was using a fly.
