A fishing method that has become more popular with sockeye harvesters in Sitka in recent years is now banned — and may not have been legal in the first place.
The Redoubt Lake Falls are about a 15-mile skiff ride from Sitka. The Forest Service fertilizes the lake every year, and the sockeye run there typically produces large numbers of fish that are a bit bigger than their cousins at Necker Bay and Klag Bay — both of which are farther away and more challenging to reach.
Bauscher is correct: A spear is legal gear for subsistence, provided you use it from shore. Proposal 132 presumably would ban the use of a spear by an individual who is immersed. Being immersed – anywhere in the frigid waters of Alaska – means using dive gear. The Board of Fish struggled a bit to clarify what it was being asked to regulate. Board member Israel Payton sympathized with the proposer, Sitkan Floyd Tomkins, who wrote that divers disrupted schools of sockeye as they prepared to head into the falls, and the divers were entering and exiting the water with a loaded weapon in close proximity to fishermen on shore.
