1 Statistics for stationary gear in Washington are not comparable with those for previous years, since a 
State law effective in 1935 prohibited the taking of salmon and steelhead trout with pound nets, set nets, 
and fish wheels, in all districts of the State; and with haul seines in the Columbia River district. However, 
the law did not affect Indians fishing on their reservations. 
1 Used in the Oregon pilchard fishery by Washington purse seine vessels. See Oregon coast tables for 
catch statistics. 
§ Includes the seines formerly shown as drag bag nets. 
4 Fished only on Indian reservations.
