this stream has a late run of red
salmon which usually has not been
touched in recent years due either
to early closing of canneries or
poor weather conditions.
“We feel that this late run
should be harvested to the extent
consistent with sensible stream
management inasmuch as it is
considered just as bad to have too
many spawners enter a stream as
it is not enough,” said Simon.

has an early red run peak and
late red run peak both of which
are often little fished. He also
pointed out that the big red runs
of many years ago which occurred
between the early and late runs
has never reestablishd itself and
remains small. At one time it was
one of the greatest producers of
red salmon in the world.
Vern Hilliker, Area Superin
tendent of Alaska Packer’s Associ
ation for whom most Karluk resi
dents fish for, advised that low
tides and generally sloppy weather
in that area had prevented much
effort being made in the gener
ally shallow lagoon during the first
two days but said he was hopeful
that resident fishermen would be
able to harvest a significant num
ber of reds during higher tides.
Hilliker said that APA would
continue to accept fish and ex
pressed hopes that fishermen, par
ticularly those of Karluk area —
many of whom did not experience
a good season this year — would be
able to augment their season’s in
come by means of the late red run
and the lagoon opening.
