Yukon River Day in Our Lives Stan Zuray

Four months of every year I move to fish camp on the Yukon River 730 miles upriver of the mouth and Bering Sea and 40 miles upriver of my home village of Tanana. Day to day life is often the same unless interrupted by minor flooding and drift logs hitting the fish wheels and nets, or lack of fish and a fish closure being instituted by the fish managers. Guess there are dozens of other things that can happen also but this video is about as day to day as it gets. Best to you, Stan

Hello Stan. It is so nice to see you again. Hoping all is good and you are all safe. Thank you for posting your video.

[@gorillahd9247]

I was your 2000th "like" on this video. Always cool to see what you are doing up there. I miss living in Alaska.

[@ernabueing4250]

Stan it was nice to see you again and I do miss the programs from the first times I saw you all in Tanana. Glad to see they you and your family are doing fine and you keep busy as always. Take care and God Bless you and your whole family.

[@2yung4u]

hi from whitecourt alberta canada, stan i'm a big fan of the show. i liked the video.

[@noneyabizz8056]

Stan is the MAN

[@lizm9115]

I've wondered for years why Yukon Men stopped coming on TV. If I remember right the show stopped just as the road to Tanana was being put in. I really miss the show. Take care Stan, I'm hope you and your family are still going strong! 💪 💗 💛 🤠🦋🙏✝️🙌

[@natevanlandingham1945]

Yea I liked Yukon me as much or more than Life Below Zero, which is still on, they started about the same time. LBZ has two spin offs this season, Next Generation and Northern Territories.

[@garywesterman6347]

Do you ever ice fish with a hook and pole

[@user-yr5sd4br8v]

Yukon men was so much better than life below zero, shame they canceled it

[@stanzuray]

Almost never. My son Joe fly fishes however.

[@stanzuray]

Never got the official word but think it was just to expensive anymore as the TV world changed to having less and less viewers. Even with our new road it is closed most of the time so we are still pretty remote and travel costs high.

[@karenlyter1331]

Have a blessed Eaater mias ypu all

[@davesmith7106]

All those years in Alaska and still has his Boston accent!! Love Stan

[@Rokonroller]

Thanks Stan👋

[@pakcanhunter]

I just find these fishing wheels pretty neat and alaska very beautiful in general.

Heureux d'avoir de vos nouvelles 👍

[@Rokonroller]

Thanks Stan👌

[@lukasz.zgorski]

I wish you all the best. Greetings from Poland!

[@alularussell778]

Hello Stan. I've seen you many times on TV or KZbin but found your book. I snatched up the book because I recognised your name. At first I thought your writings were going to be long, now as I get nearly to the end, it's not long enough and will hate to finish it. Besides the great story, man you've been through some tough times, you also have taught me lessons of value. May I add, you wouldn't have liked Viet Nam anyhow so good on you.

[@lfeco]

I think Stan was everyone's favorite from Yukon Men. I'd sure like to tag along with Stan for a day or two.

[@fredericelias7865]

In France, we look forward to seeing you again very soon, you and Joe, on French television. Grettings France !

[@leomaguire2517]

Hopping everyone in Tanana are doing well. Missing your videos Stan.

[@paronguy]

Hey Stan. We've talked a bit before. I used to build those Alweld boats. At the first of your video, you showed the front deck of your boat. It made me remember how the decks on those "Alaska boats"( that's what we called them) were made in 2 pieces, instead of a single piece of metal bent down for the bulkhead like the smaller boats. It's because the deck is wider than the metal we used. The aluminum came on big coils that were 5 feet wide. So the deck and blkhd wouldn't fit as one piece on the raw metal. Just a little useless information this morning. Lol. 👍

[@stanzuray]

We like our Alweld boats up here.

Stan my hero, one of your Italian fans

[@danarmstrong4261]

[@concretewhisperer9877]

Hi Stan. More videos please. Thank you. I hope you are doing great and your family ❤️

[@davidg9927]

[@rickabreu246]

Stan, a tip, your videos would be more visible if the title was in the language of each country. Greetings from São Luís Maranhão Brazil 🇧🇷

[@voiddark2031]

Glad to see more videos stan. Nothing quite as breath taking as an Alaskan summer day out on the river.

[@nitetime395]

Stan I have been passing your book through the family and everyone enjoys it. Even my 90 year old father, who normally only reads westerns.

[@rickabreu246]

Friend Stan, thank you for putting the subtitles in Portuguese. That way it's much better to follow you.

[@marciodasilva1011]

[@saltwaterinmyveins]

Thanks! Mr.Stan. Please continue to make videos.

[@donaldnorman7403]

Never forget first view of a glacial river from the plane on way from Chicago to ANC back in '92.. Always visualized beautiful, clear streams, not dirty milkshake looking water.

[@stanzuray]

No question my fishing was started back then in the Neponset and Castle Island etc.

[@stanzuray]

Video is from summer time. I often don't have time to make the videos when I film then.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

This was a nice video showing how you care for the fish wheel. Nice Salmon! Thank you for sharing. Was good to see you. In hopes you & your family are all well.

[@leodanryan966]

Hey there pardner. We in Texas got just a little taste of what you guys go through (only you do it better). Without even a snow shovel within 500 miles of here. We had two back to back snowstorms and it wasn't pretty. Glad to see you at your fish wheel and just glad to see you at all. Take care 🙂.

[@paulsautocm]

Thanks for posting, hope all is well.

[@bamamurdock5367]

Hey Stan!! Great to see y’all. Be safe......👍👍

Good morning from southwest Florida

Gotta love the Boston accent all these years later. Anything I can send you from your hometown that you have been craving?

[@stanzuray]

Thank you but were okay on things. Thanks

[@gmartin474]

Good to see ya Stan! How's everyone doing in Tanana? Is Charlie doing OK? I hope so! The Only way I get to see you guys is on Discovery+. I hope All of you had a great winter trapping season. Hope to see more videos like this again soon, Good Luck and Stay Safe!!!

[@stanzuray]

Charlie is fine and just heard that today. He lives in an upriver village now. Trapping is pretty dead this winter. Been a few years since it was worth doing for money. I'm afraid the anti trap people are winning. Hope they are happy with the lives they are hurting.

[@gmartin474]

@@stanzuray Sad to hear about the trapping situation. Trapping is a necessary evil keeping the population in check. I like the way you never over trap an area. It's sad what those PETA folks do not understanding the necessity of trapping in areas such as yours. I'm happy to hear Charlie is doing OK. I know he didn't like the harm that new road would bring to Tanana. Take Care and All the Best for a Good Fishing season!

[@user-zd8jy9xf9w]

Hey, Stan. Where have you been?" Finally, a new video. I even thought you were sick. You're all right, I see. Once again, I am convinced what a beautiful nature you have. I need to come to visit you (I apologize for my English 🙈 😁 )

[@stanzuray]

Actually good English

[@snowman1695]

Thanks for sharing Stan, miss the show. When will the documentary be out?

Have no set date but editing is well underway. Light is at the end of the tunnel.

Still going strong 💪 Stan. I’ve always liked your fishwheel design , it’s so efficient and durable.Hauling it up that hill of yours might be a pain in the a$$ but doable .😅 stay safe m8

[@luvleigh12]

Imagine if everyone had a harvester like that...wouldn’t be any fish left

[@stanzuray]

Read the vide description. Long ago families up and down the Yukon ran them in large numbers. Now there are only a few left.

[@renanmiculob6913]

Sir Good day! Ive been in different country Sir but ive never seen this kind of fishing Sir. Your fishing technique is really amazing Sir. Could you please teach me Sir how to make that kind of fishing Sir?Thank you very much.

[@stanzuray]

Got lots of videos of fishwheels fishing. KZbin has many also. All types. Check them out and you'll learn a lot.

Me encanta este programa pero no encuentro ninguno en español 😢

Cool video

[@lesmondk3376]

hello stan it’s still summer here in New Zealand i would be interested in seeing how you get the wheel back in the river cheers and stay safe

[@stanzuray]

The following videos are of it being pulled out which is much harder as it is waterlogged and being pulled uphill. You'll get the idea though it's the same. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2GmlKKsiplortk kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6C9aHtnprmqo9k
