Arctic Char Caught At
Kivalina On Display In
Builders Supply Window
The fish that was on display at
the Builders Supply Co. caused
much discussion as to what kind
of fish it was. Trapped in the
Kivalina River about a hundred
miles north of Kotzebue, it was
one of over a hundred fish caught
by a party of three in less than
three hours.
It was unofficially decided that
it was an arctic char, sometimes
called an arctic trout. The fish
was loaned to Builders Supply by
Floyd Wheeler.
The winner so far of the Nome
Trout Derby is Willie Senungetuk,
who hold the record with a 2
poomd 14 ounce trout.
