Hi Bob,

I did the board of fish in Ketchikan. It has gotton to the point, That if there is a meeting, wether it is a regular cycle or not, You have to be there.
More and more, they are making major decisions on off years. So when you think you are safe, you are not.
Larry Engle will be leaving soon. I think that is bad news. Art Nelson is hard to read. He listens well, but I think he has his mind made up before it goes into committe.

The resident thing is now a big issue and the board listens.

I was a resident for many years in South East Alaska and The funny thing is, you would be amaized at the amount of King salmon that gets used as Halibut bait and crab bait, when the freezers are cleaned out at the begining of the season.
