Drifters Waiting
This was taken on July 1, when the drift boats in the NRSHA (Naknek River Special Harvest Area) were waiting for an opener. For more information about openers see 2006 Bristol Bay East Side Salmon Fishery News Releases.
These announcements determine the lives and schedules of a great percentage of the Bristol Bay community during the commercial fishing season. For example, it was announced on July 7th that the NRSHA will be open to drift gillnet gear for a 7.0-hour period from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Saturday, July 8. It will be open to set gillnet gear from 11:00 p.m. Saturday, July 8 until 9:00 a.m. Sunday, July 9, a 10.0-hour period.
