26. FISHERIES OF THE WINDCHUCK RIVER. 
Windchuck River is the southernmost stream in Curry County, Ore- 
gon, being located very near the California state-line. It traverses the 
county for a distance of about 25 miles before reaching the Pacific'. 
There is only a fall run of salmon. ‘The fishing begins about the mid- . 
die of September and lasts until the end of November. Several species 
of salmon are found in this stream — quinnat, silver, steelhead, and 
blueback. As a rule, bluebacks enter the river after all other species 5 
at times as many as 600 have been taken at one haul of the small seine 
used on this river. There is no fishery for other species than the salmon, 
and this is of little consequence, as will be seen by the following sta-

River; it rises at the base of the Red Peak mountains, in the southern 
part of Curry County, and dows a distance of about 20 miles to tbe
