Larson and Costello said there
will still be reds running aftei
August 14, as well as the whole
silver run. although few of the
local fishermen agreed with them.
They still felt that commercial
fishermen are getting the best oi
the fish and personal use fisher
men must be satisfied with what
are left—if any.
A few of the comments and
recommendations made by Val
ley people Were as follows:
John Martin felt that if com
mercial fishermen are taking ad
vantage of the personal-use fish
ing. they should be curtailed, not
the personal-use fishermen. “I’ve
seen a lot of commercial fish
wasted—many times more than
the home-use fish,” he stated.
“Why not a size limit on sal
mon?" asked Jesse Kepler. "For
fish protection, I suggest a 6 in.
limit be placed. Many fishermen
don't know a baby salmon from
a trout and waste is the result.”
Cognizant of the hardship the
personal-use fishing ban has
created. Simeon Oliver asked if
perhaps the real minority group
isn’t the Native, rather than the
average working man who earns
a much higher salary.
Frank Sorenson of Wrasilla pro
posed a take-limit of 30 fish for
three adults and 10 additional for
each additional immediate family
member during commercial sea

tions.” stated John King. “Why
not find a’way to trap the viola
tors—get the evidence and take
them to court”—someone suggest
ed possibly a $1,000 fine would

Sportsmen's Recommendation
The Sportsmen's recommenda
tions as offered by Clair Stock
and agreed upon by most of those
present were to be presented to
FWS Regional Administrator
Clarence Rhode yesterday. These
are: That Knik Arm be open to
bona-fide personal use fishing
during any open period of a com
mercial season. This would al-1
low the taking of salmon for
home use only on the two days
per week that commercial fish
ing is allowed. A decision on this
recommendation is expected with
in the next 10 days.
