Ketchikan criticizes suspension of district closure
The Ketchikan News notes rising local sentiment that Albert M. Day of the Fish and Wildlife Service is acting in bad faith amid the current fishing district closure. The Ketchikan district shows strong pink salmon escapement, with about 700,000 at Anian Greek and 300,000 at the mouth, while other streams in the area also report good runs. Industry sources argue weather and winds affect runs and warn that rain could still fail to push heavy returns, risking overcrowded streams and past losses. No pilot traps are operating to assess SE conditions, per reports to Juneau. Continued on page two.
