Text: On 6-27-2009, Alaska Wildlife Troopers issued a citation to Jose
Rubio Jr. 34 yoa of Klawock, for failure to record the harvest of
subsistence salmon onto a subsistence salmon permit after he was
contacted at the public dock in Naukati. Current state subsistence
regulations require all finfish to be immediately marked by removing the

subsistence salmon permit before leaving the fishing site. Bail was set

30 days.
