Experience the Life of a Commercial Fisherman at Set Net Camp!
Join us for a unique, hands-on adventure where you’ll learn what it takes to be a commercial fishing crew member in Bristol Bay. You’ll be out on the water in a 22-foot aluminum skiff, fishing a net that’s 50 fathoms long—that’s the length of a football field! Experienced crew members will be right there with you, teaching you the ropes every step of the way.
As a set netter, you’ll live on land in a comfortable building with your fellow crew members. When you’re not fishing, you’ll dive into practical skills like net mending, anchor rigging, and cooking hearty meals to fuel your day.
By the end of the camp, you’ll have a solid understanding of what it’s like to work in the Bristol Bay fishery—and real experience that could help you land a future job in the industry.
