I much prefer dipping the Copper to the Kenai. You know going in the Copper(the canyon) is nasty and if you don't believe it before you see it for the first time standing on a rock watching the current will make you a believer. If you fall in, the next stop is the flats. It is essential you treat the river with respect and dip with that in mind. Good footing, life jacket and tie off for starters. In my opinion the experience far surpasses any other dipping spot.
I prefer the Copper, too. Copper reds are nothing but tasty. Only Yukon salmon come close to Copper salmon.
