Forget about it. Every year more than 65,000 people come to Chitina with about 50 percent dipnetting. It is safer than going to the Holiday gas station in South Cush or going to the Carrs in Midtown.
Are you serious? 32,500 people come to one village to dip net? What a rodeo.
That's nothing, which is why more people need to go there instead of the KP.
I used to work with a woman whose husband (educated too, a pathologist) had an uber boat. Bragged about the flotation, steering, power, etc. Actually bragged about putting it into one of the Copper's whirlpools and killing the power. spun, and restarted it and powered out. I guess it was "awesome".
I was too ascared to even look at his boat let alone get in it.
