F&WL PLANS BETTER
i MARKING OF SALMON
STREAMS THIS YEAR
I Better marking of salmon
j streams is planned by the Fish
! and Wildlife Service in a move
to clarify closed areas and elim
inate borderline violations, FWS
enforcement agent Holger Far
sen said today.
Commercial salmon fishing is
generally prohibited within 500
feet of the mouth of a stream, al
though sometimes the closed area
extends as far back as a mile
from the mouth.
At the present time only shore
markers are used to delimit ille
gal commercial fishing areas.
Shore markers will continue to
be used — except that the “no
fishing allowed” signs will be
larger and higher off the ground.
In addition Larsen said, buoys
will be placed in the streams.
The new markers will be placed
on all fishing streams in the ter
ritory, according to the announce
ments.
