The Alcan, skippered by Andrew Hansen, was fishing black cod off the west coast of Oraham Island when its crew sighted indications of the northern fish. Setting nets at a 20-fathom depth the crew allowed the boat to drift all night. In the morning they were rewarded by a sizable catch, mtch ot which they later gave to their friends around the city. The Kodlak herring Is much larger than the ordinary west coast herring, and has a firm white meat. It is eaten both fresh and pickled. Bert Hansen, who has been a fisherman on the coast for many years, says he has heard of Kodlak herring coming this far south, but never encountered them before.
