m salmon return to Hoodsport hery this year sets record salmon return to Salmon ltatchery American record fisheries department hopeful of greater program successes the department this week. Project is the most single event in career with this said Harry Senn, Chief of the department's Salmon Culture Division. "The experiment tells me the natural environment has received the fish very comfortably and the success of the experiment has far-reaching implications for the enhancement program." Senn, who has been with the department nearly 20 years, explained the chum sahnon enhancement experiment, when originally discussed, was challenged as a project of little merit. Now, over 200,000 chum salmon adults are bound for Hoodsport each fall averaging over 10 pounds each. This is four times the return of 1977 and at least eight times of any previous year. As an experiment, chum salmon enhancement began five years ago at the Hoodsport a Hamma: happening is set for mber 1 and 2 CLOW 2 and 3 a cultural will take Mark Westby north beyond the Bridge on I01.

Bob and Evelyn Stein were recognized for their continuing work recycling paper, glass and aluminum cans. Major business before the members was the defeat of the levy November 7, and the request of the commissioners that suggested alternatives and/or proposals be considered and presented to them for help in determining what to do next. After hearing five or six suggestions, the group decided to appoint a committee of three to consider all 'of the discussion, to consult with all available resource persons, to prepare a recommendation, and to submit it to the commissioners early in the new year. Bart Robbins, Norm Schell and Jim Messmer accepted the charge. Mrs. Fred (Helen) Messmer, who lives in Aberdeen, has been babysitting with her great-grandchildren at Camp Robbinswold for the past week. Mrs. Messmer has lived in Aberdeen since 1922. I II Salmon Hatchery in lower Hood Canal, with a plant of nearly three million chum fry. The following year, and each succeeding year, chum released at Hoodsport have numbered near 10 million fry with adult returns of at least two percent destined for the hatchery. Under the $33 million enhancement program, in its first year of implementation, four and one-half million new,.adult salmon will be contributed to Washington's sport and commercial catch each year after 1984. This will be accomplished through construction and expansion of nearly 30 hatchery facilities. Although the record chum run this year greatly aided the department's program, an additional one-day commercial salmon fishery near Hoodsport this past week created confusion between the department and commercial fishermen. Fishermen charged the department with mismanagement since chum landed in the catch were of reduced quality and brought a lower price per pound. Latest estimates from the department show 56,000 chum were caught in the one-day fishery worth over a quarter million dollars to commercial fishermen. Fisheries management officials contend alternatives to a commercial harvest near Hoodsport are: 1) allowing extended fisheries in northern Hood Canal earlier in the seaon directly affecting wild stocks in need of protection bound for northern Hood Canal streams, and 2) not to allow an additional opening at Hoodsport creating surplus salmon at the hatchery. Fisheries Director Gordon Sandison explained the management plan for Hood Canal chums is based on an agreed-to plan required by the federal court. Part of the plan includes an agreed amount of fishing on wild chum stocks in upper Hood Canal. Management was further confused by two factors: 1) a large hatchery return made it difficult for the department to assess problems, and 2) illegal fishing made management computations difficult and subsequently reduced legal fishing time from four days for the commercial fleet to two days for "bright" chums. Sandison said non-Indians caught their entire number of chum in upper Hood Canal allocated to them by the federal court. "The one-day all-citizen fishery in lower Hood Canal was a real bonus to the non-Indians because the federal court conceded tribal fishermen would not be able to catch their share," he said. The fisheries director said the most encouraging aspect of the Hood Canal return is the phenomenal success of chum enhancement.
