38. FISHERIES OF THE NESTUGGAH RIVER. 
This stream is of small importance so far as its fisheries are concerned. 
It is located in Tillamook County, Oregon, about 75 miles south of the 
Columbia River entrance. Its fisheries are confined entirely to salmon, 
which occur between August 15 and November 1. Quinnat and silver 
salmon are caught and sold for canning purposes. There is but one 
salmon-canning factory on this river, which began operations in 1887. 
The output was 4,300 cases in 1887, and 5,000 cases in 1888.

39. FISHERIES OF THE TILLAMOOK RIVER. 
Tillamook River is located in Tillamook County, Oregon, and empties 
into the Pacific Ocean about 45 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia 
River. The large quantities of salmon which pass into the river during 
the migratory season make this otherwise insignificant stream an object 
of noteworthy importance. 
Species , seasons, etc . — While numerous species of fish are found in the 
river, the fishery is limited to quinnat and silver salmon, which enter 
the stream in about equal numbers during the fall. The fishing begins 
in August, is at its height in October, and in November the number of 
fish taken is not large enough to warrant the continuance of fishing. 
From February to April, large numbers of steelhead salmon enter the 
river, but as the canning factories are not in operation at that time no 
attention is given to their capture.
