Kokanee Limit Reduction Discussed At Hearing
A public hearing on the kokanee fishery at Lake Pend Oreille heard commercial fishermen oppose a possible closure of commercial fishing. Fish biologist Dave Ortman outlined decline since 1952 dam development and proposed two plans including stocking early kokanee spawners and reducing harvest limits to boost production. He cited creel census drops from one million to under half a million and stressed need for about 150000 more spawners.

Northwest Regional Commission funding hangs in balance

Governors Evans of Washington and Andrus of Idaho back the commission, aiming for a one year extension despite Cole's noncommittal response.
