Redwood Creek and Mad River are not much fished, notwithstanding 

 the fact tliat sahnon and trout abound in them. 



Eel, one of the principal rivers running through Humboldt County, is a 

 large stream and has many fishing camps upon its banks, in which large 

 quantities of salmon are salted annually. 



Mattole River and Casper Creek are comparatively small streams. They 

 are well stocked with fish. 



A great many salmon are taken in Little River and shipped to San Fran- 

 cisco, where they are known as coast salmon. 



The same can be said of the Navarro River in Mendocino County. 



Russian, the longest river running through Sonoma County, is a good 

 fish stream. There are several camps upon its banks near its mouth, and 

 vast quantities of fish are taken in its waters. Its best fish is the salmon, 

 perch, pike, and chub. 



San Lorenzo, Benito, and Soquel Creeks, are about the only streams of 

 any consequence in Santa Cruz County. Several smaller streams empty 

 into INIonterey Bay. At times salmon run in them, but never in great 

 quantities. These are the most southerly streams entered by salmon, being 

 between latitude thirty-six degrees and thirty-seven degrees north, and 

 are the lowest salmon streams on either the Atlantic or Pacific Coast. 



In the rivers and creeks of Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, 

 Ventura, Los Angeles, and San Diego, no salmon enter to speak of, but 

 salmon trout are taken in large quantities.
