3 It would be very difficult to come up with 



4 accurate figures showing the importance of Ediz Hook in 



5 numbers of fish landed, because anglers in this area 



g many times launch at one location and run to another to 

 - fish. It is possible, however, to indicate the relative 

 g importance of each of the major launching sites to the 

 Q angling public, through a check of the average number 

 of anglers sampled at each place during a period when 



J, all were in operation. This period would be roughly from

June through September and is presented in Table 2. From 

 October through May Port Angeles is the only major site 

 operating within punch card Area 6 as the other locations 



.g are somewhat seasonal and launch very few boats during 



the fall-winter-early spring period. 



.- As you will note, in Table 3 I have shown 



the salmon catch and number of angler trips for the June 

 through September period (1964 and 19^5 ) for all of Area 6 

 so that a comparison can be made between the angling intensity 

 during this period and the relative importance of each of 

 the major areas. The majority of the remaining catch and 

 anglers trips (October through May) can safely be said to 

 be connected with the Port Angeles area. 



There is a sport fishery of varying Intensity
