MIDNIGHT PREVIEW "MERRY GO ROUND OF 1938" BRISTOL BAY 500D AS EVER, NETTER AVERS Paul Jensen Fishes Famed Area First Time in 3() Years Nearly four decades ago, Paul : Juneau fisherman, then a cub of a kid,” boarded an old wind- jammer in San Francisco and made \ tedious trip to Bristol Bay, Al- \ska, where he fished for the s of the set Ve but returned Bay after rday, Paul, now “past sixty. looking like a man in his forties, to Juneau from Bristol his first trip to that area since 1899, and says “It hasn’t changed a great deal.” Jensen fished in Bristol Bay this for only three days, then ed his back and was forced to come home—but in those three he made $300. There are just as many fish in the Kvichak area this summer as here were fort ears ago,” Jensen said. “Nushagak and Ugashik rivers cleaned out by overfishing a long time ago, but the main body of fish going up the Kvichak is just as big as ever.” Jensen said at one time in the early days there were eleven can- were neries operating on the Nushagak,' “Its the that m and five hundred gillnetters. “They not only had the gillnetters crowding the river, but they had traps almost all the way up the river to the lake, jutting out from both sides. “Those traps fish a day each, than all the gillnetters combined. Takir the salmon right off the pawning grounds like that was bound to spoil the river, and they did much the same thing on the Ugashik.” But Jensen says a fisherman can make just as much money today in Bristol Bay as in the old days. He also says there will be more fish caught in Bristol Bay this year than last year. “The men are getting a cent less a pound this year, but there are more fish. The only trouble is the canneries can only handle so much salmon and all fishermen are on a limit, varying from 1,500 to 2,000 fish a day, depending on how many boats are coming in. “When a fisherman is laid off, though, they pay him for his limit and put him to work in the can- nery. There’s so much fish they’re shorfhanded. If a man is making $100 a day on his limit of fish, and he gets laid off, he still gets paid $100 a day.” But life has speeded up a bit since '99, Jensen agreed. When he left Bristol Bay on the windjammer for San Francisco in that year, it took him nearly three weeks to get to the Golden Gate city. This time, coming “out,” it took Jensen only two and a half days by airplane, train, and boat to come to Juneau would take 20,000 and catch more Wa.ter akes ()\ympla B E ER “Its the Water” | can dancer and a titled British girl THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1938. | DID SOMEONE MENTION ‘EYESTRAIN’ when the two comely beach-bathers have their éyes so well shielded | with protective sun glasses?
