      Thank you. Yes, they are very tasty and as my daughter once said, "Not another salmon summer." Yes, it is.

    Thank you so much for showing the fishwheel and filleting! I miss getting those beautiful reds from the wheel. That jewel-like red is absolutely beautiful ❤ This video brought me a lot of joy. Nothing beats Copper River sockeye!

    Hello friend, I never saw salmon caught this way. You always learn. I'll have to jump over the "puddle" and take a walk around. 😊

      Yes, it's an innovative way. I keep trying to find the origin. It seems like the technology came over with the Europeans during the Gold Rush era in the late 1800s.

      Yes Dwane. Powered by Mother Nature to feed we humans. It's part of our subsistence lifestyle that we all cherish out here.

    That fishwheel is cool! Works good too!

      Yes, it does work very well, although it does require quite a bit of maintenance because the Copper River beats it up.

      Yes, fresh out of the Copper River. It's hard to go wrong when cooking them.

    Wow ! What a great innovation to catch , Salmon. There Couldn't be an easier way . Do you only cook the fillets and throw away the rest or make soup which could be delicious and nutritious ?

    • @akwild1
      @akwild1  4 місяці тому

      I don't make soup our of the carcasses. The fish are filleted pretty clean by the time I'm through with them.

    What about bears getting into the fish box unattended?

    • @akwild1
      @akwild1  Місяць тому

      Good question. That’s pretty rare. Lots of moving parts on a Fishwheel that seem to make the bears uneasy.

    I never understood why cutting off the fins is preferred. I see it over and over and have never done that myself. Why is that?

    • @akwild1
      @akwild1  4 місяці тому +1

      I have seen fish filleted many ways. Cutting off the fins just ensures nothing will get in the way, and it makes for a little smoother cut. That's about it.
