BRISTOL BAY DISTRICT 
Operations in the Bristol Bay region during the season of 1926 
consisted primarily of the enforcement of the Alaska fishery laws 
and regulations, collection of data relating to commercial fishing 
for and packing of salmon, observation of “the salmon run and es- 
capement to the spawning erounds, construction and operation of a 
calmon-counting weir on the Ugashik River. and the destruction of 
predatory fishes. The work was organized by Agent Dennis Winn 
and was under his personal supervision until ‘the Ist of June, when 
Mr. Winn returned to his duties in southeastern Ataska, and Warden 
A. T. Looff assumed full charge. 
Agent Dennis Winn and 20 special employees secured in the States 
were transported to the Bristol Bay district in May on vessels of the 
Alaska Packers Association, Alaska-Portland Packers Association, 
Columbia River Packers Association, Naknek Packing Co., Red 
Salmon Canning Co., and Libby, McNeill & Libby. These, to- 
gether with one “patrolman employed locally, Warden A. T. Looff, 
and the engineer of the Scoter, who had remained in the district over 
the preceding winter, comprised the Bristol Bay force for the 1926 
season. Supplies and other equipment for the bureau’s use also 
were transported to Bristol Bay on vessels of the above companies. 
At the end of the season return transportation to the States was 
furnished by them for 12 men, while 10 others left via Kanatak and 
Tliamna Lake, passage being secured on recular transportation 
steamers. :
