Fig. 3.— Patrol boats on bureau's marine ways, Naknek River 



The patrol this season was effective in all sections. The addition of launch 

 No. 7 was of .great benefit, especially in the patrolling of the flats during the 

 Sunday closed periods. This boat is of cruiser model, semitunnel type, 36 feet 

 long, with 40 to 60 horsepower Red Wing engine, and has sufficient power and 

 speed to ascend the streams with ease, which, with her shallow draft, made it 

 possible to cover great areas during the weekly closed period in sections that 

 could not be visited heretofore. 



Another valuable addition was launch No. 5, of the Columbia River type, 

 equipped with an 8-horsepower Frisco Standard engine. This launch replaced 

 the boat lost by fire last year in the Ugashik River and is an excellent boat well 

 suited for the work for which it is intended. 



With the present equipment, the bureau is well prepared to handle the patrol 

 situation in Bristol Bay. Few violations were reported throughout the season, 

 and it is felt that greater effort was made by the fishermen to observe the laws 

 this season than formerly. 



The Naknek River marine ways, which were constructed during the summer 

 months and 1 are suitable to care for all of the bureau's launches and boats in the 

 district, are now ready for use. The engineer assigned to the Scoter has been 

 detailed for work on these boats during the winter of 1925-26. He is to work 

 under the direction of Warden A. T. Looff , who will remain in Bristol Bay for the
