FISHIN’ POLE
Natives’ decision helps out fishery

LAST WEEK 1 mentioned
the early Native Food Fish-
ery on the Nanaimo River
which was jeopardizing the
Chinook brood stock so
badly needed at the
Nanaimo River Hatchery.

By GEORGE NOSKY

After Federal Fisheries
had given the band three
days per week of netting

with the first catch
September 13-16, a reap-
praisal of the situation was
done by the Native Band.
On Friday, September 20,
the Nanaimo Indian Band
informed Federal Fisheries
that they would postpone
their net fishery until the
Hatchery receives their
quota of Chinook eggs or
the Nanaimo River rises
dramatically to allow

escapement of Salmon
stocks to the natural spawn-
ing beds. This decision will
be reviewed cach week by
the band and D.F.O.

I congratulate the
Nanaimo Indian Band! This
foresight can only help in the
rebuilding process on the
river. Maybe the band can
participate in the surplus of
Coho that returns to the Big
Qualicum. | know this idea

might be mixing in politics
but really, the whole Native
fishery must be reviewed.
Two weeks ago I promised
technique regarding
bucktailing. Although I love
all methods of angling there
is nothing as exciting as a
fighting-mad Coho attacking
a surface trolled Ny.
Remember that everything
in this sport is done at high
speed. Using light line and

rods your drag a large fly
across the surface three
times normal trolling speed.
At times at speeds up to
eight knots.

A good bucktailing rod is
nine to 10 feet in length and
is a fast, light action.

1 like a single-action reel
such as a Longstone; four
inch Peetz; or Daiwa 375
packed with one hundred
yards of dacron backing and

three hundred yards of top
quality, fifteen-pound nylon
line. Heavier line creates too
much line drag.

The flies can be made of
deer or bear hair with the
best and most expensive be-
ing mace of dyed polar bear
hair. These latter flies can be
hard toifind but will give
you years of service.
