Brad Rea, of Lakeside, Ariz., received a PRO T-shirt for winning our latest “Where’s the Restroom?’’ contest. He recognized our mystery photos in the October issue of PRO were taken in Kenai, Alaska. He also knew the event shown was the dip-netting salmon fishing season for Alaska residents.
A photo shows the traditional dip-netting season in full swing at the mouth of the Kenai River last July. Fishermen from across the state converge on the beach with large nets to take sockeye salmon to fill their freezers with fish. Each head of household is allowed 25 salmon, plus an additional 10 fish for every additional family member.
The photos were submitted by Kimberly Wolfley, dispatcher for Peninsula Pumping, in Soldotna, Alaska, whose company services restrooms on the beach two or three times a day during the fishing season. Thanks Kimberly!
