Fishwheel and fish wheeling on the Copper River in Alaska for red (sockeye) and kings (chinook) has a long tradition. Dennis Wheeler shares his expertise on how he built fish wheels and the innovations he has created to help make all the chores associated with fish-wheeling on the Copper River more manageable, from his salmon winch system to his salmon stripper, from how to make smoke salmon and entertain your dog without wearing out your arm using a homemade catapult.
I have several other fishwheel videos on AKWild1.
Here are my documentaries about our journey on the Pacific Crest Trail:
