Went to Chitina Tuesday 17 June 2014, with my daughter, a co-worker and his two teenage boys. We were dipping down below the tunnel and doing OK catching fish. We heard some rocks falling off the bluff near us and heard a large splash and within just a couple minutes we saw a full grown beaver swimming around near where we were fishing. At first we thought it was a seal, but it went under water and ended up in one of our dipnetts! We pulled the net up and there is this beaver looking at us! We quickly flipped the net over and released the beaver before it went crazy in the net and it swam around and went down river from where we were. All in all we ended up with 53 sockeye in about 15 hours of fishing. Weirdest thing I have ever experienced down at Chitina!
