In our district, we were granted three requests made pre- viously in interests of conservation and economic betterment of the Hoonah workman. “However,” Wright added,“What effect the weekly closed period ex- tension will have it something no one can anticipate. No doubt it will curtail some fishing, but the question remains to be seen as to whether or not the fish will school over the weekends.
