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.

Yes, on the public ranges, for sure.
Needless to say, the single boat that overtook us - and obviously saw the peril our freeboard put us in in their wake- they roared right on without missing a beat. Idiots abound. . Hell I'd have waved if I'd known it was you Mark. 
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

what Ray said, those Copper River Reds are tasty, one of my very favorite fish.
worth risking your life for? guess so.
I've heard some great stories about the guy that ran a charter in competition with the Heyms for a few years.
they had some real back and forth
culminated in the one guy's boat getting burned to a crisp in his back yard.
good tales only told over an open fire with a cold beer or hot toddy

Hell I'd have waved if I'd known it was you Mark. Those exaggerated anatomical pleasuring gestures weren't waving?  (That lil' dude head on the power-sluicing platform brag rack had only his eyebrows going for him.  )
