FISHERMEN BRING TALES FROMNORTH |Corey Ford and Dan Hol- land Tell of Taboo Lake in Arctic After fishing in taboo Walker Lake at the head of the Kobuk River north of the Arctic Circle, writers Corey Ford and Dan Hol- land returned to Juneau today on a southbound Lodestar for what they both acclaimed as the “climax of their fishing trip.” " For ten days the pair of fish- ing fiends waited in Nome while weather grounded all planes, then with sunshine breaking through the clouds “Nome buzzed like a hornel’s nest, with planes flying in all di- rections.” Past Kotzebue they flew with Sig Wein and up the Kobuk River looking for a gravel bar on which to land. Came the bar and came the landing with Holland and Ford fishing a lake which is taboo to the Indians because they claim the fish are so large that they will swallow a kayak. Sincere- ly the two writers claim the niyth exists and that no Eskimos ever enter the lake for that reason. Famous Shee Fish Holland, fishing editor of Field and Stream, and the noted Colliers writer, filled their creels with the famous shee fish, although ad- mitting that-their catches ran only eight to ten pounds while they have been reported to go as high as 70 pounds. The shee is a migra- tory fish like a salmon which run up rivers to spawn, and it is thought that the Kobuk River is the only spawning ground in Am- erica for the giant fish, called by the two flying fishermen, “Arctic carp.” Back in Nome Ford and Holland fished Pilgrim River with Nome banker Grant Jackson, catching Arctic trout, with Holland record- ing data on the fish in an attempt to classify the trout. . Left Haida at Nome Several weeks ago the two men left Juneau on the Haida, visited defense bases at Kodiak and Dutch Harbor and left the Coast Guard cutter at Nome. They arrived by plane from Fairbanks this noon and will be in Juneau for about a week.
