Dipnetting Season

By Dee Rusin, Kenai

The fish are coming!

Grab your nets and poles!

Hurry to the beach

Stretch as far as you can reach

Dip your nets — haul ‘em in

Toss ‘em in a waiting pail

Don’t forget to clip the tail

This scene’s repeated over again

Til the buckets or sleds are full

Grab a line push behind

Everybody pull

In the truck back home once more

Clean and then fillet

Now the fisher people

Turn their thoughts of fishing

Another day
