GOING PISHING ?
With the passing of gratis service
on fishing one year ago, came
numerous problems of how to obtain
fish at,as reasonable as possible
price-. After much consultation,
it was decided to charge .05 per
fish for use of nct3 and equip
ment including two boats. This
fund paid ^40, on Council boat,
L bought fishing supplies and .07
per mile for use of car to and
from Knik. This year after num
erous requests t allowed myself
to be caught at the fishing
business again. Thi3 year wo will
operate on the same basis as last,
except having a farmer in contin
uous charge of the nets at Mos
quito Point. There needs to be
felt no obligation on the part of
any to fish with the community
nets. It would bo better if more
people would go together and get
their own nets. If that wore
done tPicro is no reason why such
persons could not "thunb" trans
portation on Council boat, provid
ing not too many went fishing at
one time and providing all fish
wore sacked, and all stayed within
a mile each way of the community
fishing ground. Caro should be
taken to stay for enough away from
otheros fishing-- that is simple
beach courtesy. But "thumbing"
the use of anothers nets without
fay to the owner is unfair to the
purchaser.
I would like to say just a word
about fishing on fish crook. I
do not believe it is good business
to go up the crock and spear or
pitch fork the salmon. More '
salmon arc killed each year than
v/Q realize. We destroy our future
supply of fish if we constantly
molest those fish on their spawn
ing bods. Besides,fish taken
that way make the least desirable
moat, the flesh being bruised.
It would be better to stay off
fish creek entirely. The same
goes for cotton wood creek. Unless
we quit fishing on cotton wood,
v/o will have no fish going up
there at all by another fish cycle,
