Dear KRPGA Members,
The Alaska Board Fish is currently reviewing and "deliberating" Proposal 83,
( by the Kenai Peninsula Fishermen's Association ) which proposes opening back up the
Cook Inlet Commercial fishing season from Aug. 10 to Aug. 15.
The proposal attempts to justify the request so that the commercial fleet can catch more
pink salmon. This request is being made even as there are no pink salmon to catch every
other year. Sportfish worked very hard to get the commercial fleet off Cook Inlets
silver salmon during this time period but now the Board is again seriously considering
allowing them access to those silvers again.
The Alaska Board of Fish passed 9 proposals on Saturday, Feb. 9th, 2008.
Proposal 221, prevents personal-use dipnetting on the lower Kenai River from
boats that don't have four-stroke or direct fuel-injected two-stroke engines.
Proposal 238, closes the Kenai River from the outlet of Skilak Lake to the
Upper Killey River to all fishing between May 2 and June 10.
Proposal 246, prevents fishing from an anchored boat in the swan sanctuary
area of Skilak Lake and on the Kenai River between Aug. 1 and Dec. 31.
We now have no anchoring boats between Aug. 1 and Dec. 31 and no motors between
the breakup of the ice upstream and June 14 on the Kenai River flowing from
Skilak Lake; because of this Trumpeter Swan Sanctuary.
Proposal 248, increases the daily bag limit for Dolly Varden in Cooper Lake
from two to five fish.
Proposal 249, decreased the bag limit for lake trout in Hidden Lake from two to one.
Proposal 74, prevents the use of spotter aircraft in the Upper Cook Inlet.
