How Joe and Sam Set Their Fishnet at Rampart Rapids on the Yukon River - Stan Zuray

Joe Zuray and Samantha (Sam) Wright of Tanana fish in the Rampart Rapids in summer 40 miles upriver of their village. This video shows the scenery around tells a little history about the Rapids while Joe feeds their fishnet into the river while Sam backs the boat out into the fishing eddy at the start of a fishing opening just recently. Coming soon look for "Joe and Sam Check their Fish Net for King Salmon".
Joe and Sam have spent most of this summer at fish camp putting up canned and dried fish products for the winter for themselves and extended family. Along with myself they are the main people who run the fishing gear and boats so about a dozen households here have what they need to cut and supply their needs for winter. This goes on at camps all over the river from the mouth way into Canada. While greatly reduced because of changing times and pressure from commercial overfishing it is the most healthy family lifestyle activity on this part of the Yukon River today and is essential to the future health of the villages.
Best, Stan Zuray

I'm glad I found this. I always watched and enjoyed Yukon men. Since I broke my back before I could live my dream, your show and especially your son allowed me to see all the places I wanted to see and things I wanted to do that northern Minnesota just didn't offer.

[@MrTheeduck2000]

Got me. Saw that thumbnail pic of Joe holding that big fish and said I got to check that out. Oh well, wasn't even in the video.

[@brianbiddington3486]

Thanks Stan from new zealand

[@Downeastwaves]

Thanks for the info. Very interesting. Hopefully they caught several.

[@stanzuray]

Thank you. We actually are trying as a united group of fishermen to not catch the larger king as they have the larger size genes and are the best spawners with the most eggs. We have fought for use of small mesh nets and gear like fishwheels which do not target the larger fish like the now illegal 8,9 and 10" nets. However while fishing a 6" small mesh net an occasional large fish gets tangled and that is what this one was. It was incredible to see however. .

[@Downeastwaves]

Smart, very smart.
