PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND, COPPER AND BERING RIVER SALMON STATISTICS 211 
are small and scattered, ranging from 254 in 1920 to 14 in 1927, the greater part 
coming from traps along the Chenega shore. Table 3 gives a graphic picture of the 
catch of all species except kings.

MONTAGUE STRAIT DISTRICT 
The Montague Strait district includes all waters east of a median line through 
Montague Strait to Point Helen at the southern end of Knight Island, thence along 
the watershed of that island, across Ingot and Eleanor Islands, thence north of 
Smith Island and south to Montague Point, thence along the watershed of Mon- 
tague Island to Cape Cleare, and thence to the point of beginning in Montague 
Strait. This district comprises an area in which no fishing was carried on before 
1917, except at Bay of Isles on the east coast of Knight Island where a small run of 
red salmon was exploited as early as 1912 and fished intermittently until virtually 
exhausted. 
Aside from a few small catches, classed as unallocated, all salmon taken in this 
district came from the west cost of Montague Island. The development of a fishery 
in this region commenced in 1917 but did not reach large proportions until 1924. 
The fishery is, therefore, quite new and the data are necessarily limited to so few 
years that analysis must be confined largely to a discussion of the catches of pink 
salmon. This district embraces seven localities, each of which will be considered 
separately as far as data warrant. The unallocated catch in this district includes 
salmon reported as taken at Marsha Bay in 1917; at Montague Point in 1925; at 
Montague Island in 1917, 1919, 1926, and 1927; and at Kocky Point, Sandy Point, 
and Green Island in 1927. 
Bay of Isles . — A stream, the outlet of a small lake, enters the head of the bay 
where a fishery was conducted intermittently from 1912 to 1926. In the eight years 
of operation, the catches consisted chiefly of red and pink salmon, but they were 
small and irregular and gave the stream little importance as a producer of salmon. 
In 1925, the middle arm of the bay was closed to all commercial fishing for salmon 
but in 1926 this restriction was removed and the west arm was closed — a restriction
