Clem Kameroff's Summer Vacation

:

Clem Kameroff's Summer Vacation

"In the month of May, I went out goose hunting all around the river and back behind Pilcher Mountain. During June, I subsistence fished a few times. And I also worked for PHS, hauling gravel and working with heavy equipment."

"Before the commercial fishing season started, I worked on a 90 h.p. engine so that I would have an engine to bring me fishing. Then near the

end of June I commercial fished for a couple of openings. The fishing season this summer was very short, though it ran into the beginning of July. The reason it was so short was because the Dept. Fish and Game

would like more fish to come back next year. Also, the quota for the fishing season had already been met."

"In July, I subsistence fished for salmon to put away for the winter for both our family and for my dogs. In July and August; I worked for PHS

once again. The PHS still needs more work done so I'll be working for them in the future. During September I went out moose hunting and somewhat got a moose. Actually, my hunting partner got it and we got some meat. So I'll be moose hunting again sometime in a couple of days. It's been a typical summer, just like all others before."
