Hate to break the news to you, but "flossing" salmon is not fishing, it is a form of snagging. Not sure why anyone would want to do this?

Its interesting to see all the comments. Haven't read for awhile. Its a simple as this. Those who have fished the Kenai, understand this is the standard method for catching sockeye. Those who have not done it, you ought to give it a try. Its a legal method to catch the sockeye by flossing then in the mouth. I have fished side by side Fish and game officers and its pretty much the best way to catch the sockeye and they AGREE. Its not justified for those who haven't done it, do not understand this legal method. For you new guys, rest assured, its the right way to do it. Every sockeye fishery in Alaska, including the Nushagak which has the largest run of Sockeye, this is how its done legally. Do not listen to the guys who have not ventured onto the Kenai during the sockeye run. I can guarantee you 99% of the guys do it this way. Its legal the most effective. Why, because sockeye typically do not bite like a normal fish. Thats the long and short of it. See you on the river.

That fish was hooked in the body, that's why it took off downstream so fast! c'mon now!

While fishing the Kenai and Russian rivers, I never heard of flossing fish. We always knew it as snagging them in the mouth.

Hoping to try plunking bait for sockeye up there.. that's how they're caught here in Washington when we get a river season.

Or you could quit playing grabass and just use a dip net

Going to Soldotna for the weekend tomorrow (ah, the joys of living only a few hours' drive away) and plan on trying this!

[@mikehewitt2146]

Three pronged hook is best for snagging fish😂😂😂😂

[@josephboisvert8213]

Cool thanks for the tip

[@deancarver6899]

We have a couple rivers here in Washington where flossing is the way it's done but we use a 6-10 ft leader with a no.2 hook tie yarn to line and instead of a bead we use a lil float called a corky.. might try this as well up there

To clarify for those outside of Alaska, this is NOT sport fishing. This is snagging. “Flossingi” is a method of snagging, not a sport fishing method. Our sockeye fisheries are nothing more than a meat harvest. It’s a lot of fun, but little skill is involved.
