1981 Press Photo John & Clara Fenton, commercial fishermen, have boat for sale.
John and Clara Fenton of Kent, Washington have a 'for sale' sign in the window of "Uncle Ole," their 40-foot troller docked at Seattle's Fisherman's Terminal. Boats such as these are owned by non-treaty fishermen and must share in half of the salmon harvest not taken by treaty Indians, who since 1974 are entitled by law to 50 percent of the salmon caught in a given season. This "Boldt Law," as it is known, makes it difficult for people like the Fentons to survive as commercial fishermen.
