' Rivers except where designated otherwise. 



2 Washington catches of winter-run fish are seasonal; i.e.. fail of 1961 and winter of 1962 are included in the estimate for 1963. Oregon's estimates 

 are on a calendar year basis. 



^ Because of the absence of a seasonal breakdown of the Columbia River catch before 1964, I derived the estimates for 1962-63 by taking 13 percent 

 of the total catch for each year for the winter-run and 87 percent of the to'.al as summer-run (the average percentages for 1964-67). 



* Idaho catches are all summer-run fish.
