  While 
  the 
  seine 
  catch 
  is 
  the 
  greatest 
  in 
  quantity, 
  it 
  is 
  exceeded 
  in 
  

   value 
  by 
  that 
  with 
  hand 
  lines. 
  The 
  tip-up 
  catch 
  is 
  third. 
  The 
  only 
  

   species 
  taken 
  in 
  seines 
  was 
  suckers, 
  while

  the 
  leading 
  

   species 
  were 
  lake 
  trout, 
  yellow 
  perch, 
  and 
  lake 
  herring.

  in 
  use

  lakes, 
  and 
  the 
  catch 
  in 
  the 
  aggregate 
  does 
  not

  to 
  much,

  being 
  the 
  principal 
  species 
  captured.
