BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES 
Falls Bay . — Statistics are available showing the catch of salmon at Falls Bay for 
five years, from 1922 to 1927, with the exception of 1923. All species have been 
taken, but the catches have always been small. Red salmon and pinks are taken in 
approximately equal numbers, although during the last three years, 1925 to 1927, the 
reds were more abundant than any other species. Records indicate that the fishery 
was conducted entirely by means of gill nets, but no information was presented to 
show that operations were confined strictly to the bay. In view of the fact that no 
salmon were taken here until recent years, it is probable that the bay has no local

Figure 5. — Percentage deviation from the trend of the catch of red salmon at Eshamy 
run of red salmon and that gill nets set at the entrance of the bay intercept fish moving 
toward red-salmon streams in more northerly localities. This assumption would 
not necessarily apply to pinks and chums, as they are found in all parts of the sound, 
including Falls Bay. 
Granite Bay . — The fishery at this locality is also of comparatively recent origin, 
practically nothing having been taken there before 1924. It produced pink, red, 
chum, and coho salmon. The catch of reds increased steadily in the four years from 
1924 to 1927 and now gives the locality singular importance by reason of its prox- 
imity to Eshamy Bay and its rather sudden development. Inasmuch as the salmon 
reported from Granite Bay were taken in gill-net fishing, there is a possibility that
