Two Board members will be traveling to the Board of Fish meeting in Cordova November 30 to December 6. Details below.
As the year winds down, Chitina Dipnetters Association President Chuck Derrick and Treasurer John Siegfried are preparing to travel to the 2021 Board of Fisheries meeting taking place in Cordova from November 30th until December 6th.
The CDA has submitted one proposal for the Board's consideration this year. The proposal, as originally written, asks the BOF to move the downstream dipnet boundary 1/2 mile downstream from the current markers to alleviate congestion and increase safety among the boat fishers who utilize the area down by Haley Creek.
Due to enforcement concerns because a 1/2 mile boundary extention would be beyond the sight of enforcement officers stationed at Haley Creek, Chuck has amended the proposal to extend the boundary so fishers have an additional 660 or so yards of fishing space but remain in view of enforcement officers.
In addition to working for passage of our proposal, Chuck and John will also be supporting and opposing other people's and organizations' proposals that could be a benefit or detriment to our fishery.
Paul Delys, vice-president
