Red Salmon Start
 Run, Trout Plentiful

been set by the State Fish and Game board to begin this year on Aug. H. The date previously has been Aug. 1.
 Local fishermen state h a past experience has shown that the Aug. l date has been too late for the red salmon run, and that very few silvers can be netted at any time in Knik arm. The setting of the date up to Aug. II is expected to elim- mate home-use fishing for all practical purposes.
 It is estimated there are 25 to 30 families in this area who depend upon netting fish o I their winter supply. Much in- dignation has been expressed over the change of date. It is felt that the few fish taken for home-use effects very little the total population of fish and is infinitesimal compared to the number taken each d ay by commercial fishermen.
 All interested in home-use fishing may get in touch with State Rep. Jalmar Kerttula or

 Both lines are part of the breeding effort conducted by the Alaska joint research pro- gram designed to upgrade AL aska's dairy industry. In 1948 average production in Alaska's Matanuska Valley Anchorage milkshed was 6,500 pounds per year.

With salmon running slight ly earlier than usual this year, fishing fever has hit the Mat anuSka valley area this week. Reports of fair to good fishing for salmon, as well as rainbow and Dolly Warden trout and grayling are coming in from the popular streams and lakes of the Matanuska area.
 Local anglers have reported some good catches in the streams. Lake fishing generally is not too good, the surface water is warm. If the fish aren't biting, the swimming is fine.
 The early salmon run has also evoked requests for the Fish and Game department to change the opening date for the home-use fishing in the upper Cook Inlet area.
 Red salmon are now begin ming their run into Cottonwood creek, according to Dan Me Ginnis, Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game. The run is not strong yet, he reports, but some fish are being taken by snagging, as red salmon rarely strike lures in this stream. Heavy test line is recommend ed as the tidal area of { h e creek contains much debris
 The public is reminded that the multiple hook size is linn ited to one-fourth inch fl m point to shank when not at taehed to a lure, and is limit ed to one-half inch from point to shank when attached to 2 lure. Also, a weight may not be attached to, or follow a mul. tiple hook.
 Angling is allowed betweer the mouth of the creek and it: intersection with Cottonwood road.
