Sunken Gillnets: Fishing in Bristol Bay, Alaska

by William H. Nicholson

During the winter of 1978, dynamic change loomed on the horizon. Ultimately, this changed our lives for the better. My friends and I began to think of fishing another species of fish, other than salmon. Over the last few months, we heard rumblings of a potentially lucrative new herring fishery not too far from Dillingham. It sounded like a fishery that targeted on a species not too much larger than a smelt. I was interested. So were many other residents who pondered how they could make money off so small a fish.
