Ketchikan bridge fishing

By Tom Greninger

In reference to Ketchikan bridge fishing: I strongly support the tradition of fishing from the bridge, it gives youngsters, old timers (sourdoughs) and the tourists a lot of pleasure. I note that several regulars offer their poles, with a salmon attached, to bystanders and then release the salmon after it is brought to shore.

I request the Ketchikan city council, or whomever, have at least two short hoses with running water so that the fish remains can be rinsed back into the river. This should be rather cheap addition to our improved viewing and walk way.
