When Linda Lee left her small northern California town of Potter Valley in 1976, she intended to make big money on the pipeline then head back home a few months later. She didn’t get that job, but she did get hooked on Alaska particularly the waters of Prince William Sound. She and her husband started commercial shrimp fishing about this time, and then in 1987 added the charter boat business they still operate. And in 1989 and 1990 she used her captain’s license to operate boats for the oil spill response efforts. Linda’s experience also includes shrimping, kelping, seining, halibut long lining and gill netting on the Copper River flats.
