Go get 'em day for gillnetters. Deckboss photoThe Copper River fishery opens at 7 a.m. today for a 12-hour period, signifying what many will regard as the official start of a new Alaska salmon season.
Of course, gillnetters and trollers started stalking Chinook salmon at the Stikine and Taku rivers in Southeast on May 7.
But for Copper River connoisseurs, that doesn't count, right?
Anyway, Deckboss wishes the Copper River fleet a safe day and good fishing.
