-These rules apply to all vessels trolling for all species of Salmon
-Nothing in these rules shall exonerate any vessel, owner or crew thereof from using common sense and courtesy
-The word "vessel" includes every description of vessel unless it has been determined by locals that it is not local
-The term "vessel engaged in fishing" does not apply to you
-The term "vessel not under command" means any vessel with 16 empty lucky cans and less than 3 crew
-The term "vessel restricted in her ability manouver" means any vessel with a chinook over 30lbs on the line, unless that chinook has white meat.
-Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper lookout as best they can from behind their Alaskan bulkhead
-Every vessel shall at all times proceed at a safe speed unless the bite is on
-Assumptions shall not be based on scanty information unless you are right and they are wrong (or not local)
-Risk of collision shall be deemed to exist if two or more vessels are using their horns and raising their middle fingers.
-Action to avoid collision shall be substantial enough to avoid tangling downrigger cables. If the circumstances of the case permit, flasher tangles should also be avoided.
-Traffic seperation schemes are for other vessels
-What are narrow channels?
-When two sailing vessels are approaching one another... oh who cares
-An overtaking vessel shall pass close enough to ask how fishing is, and to determine whether or not the other boat is local
-When two power-driven vessels are meeting on reciprocal courses, the vessel that would
sustain the most damage is the give-way vessel
-When two vessels are crossing so as to involve risk of Collision, the guide boat is the stand-on vessel
-When a vessel is in doubt as to whether such a situation exists she shall assume the other boat to be local and give-way
-Every vessel which is directed to keep out of the way of another vessel shall, so far as practicable, ridicule that vessel
-Where one of two vessels is to keep out of the way, the other shall keep her course and speed. The latter vessel may however take action to avoid collision by her manouver alone, as soon as it becomes apparent to her that the other vessel can't see over her Alaskan bulkhead, is littered with empties, is local, or has a cranky or angry crew.
-Conduct of vessels in restricted visibility... good luck.
-None of these rules shall apply if the projected Sockeye return is over 30 million.
