SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA SALMON STATISTICS 
451 
points constitute advantageous locations for traps. This condition is more pro- 
nounced in the section west of Glacier Bay and Mud Bay. East of these bays the 
shores are more regular and salmon follow them more closely, making trap fishing 
very productive along the north shore of Chichagof Island, the southern shore of 
Pleasant Island, and the south shore of the mainland between Excursion Inlet and 
Point Couverden. 
For purposes of review, the district has been divided into three parts, (1) outside 
localities, (2) Cross Sound and its connecting bays, and (3) Icy Strait proper and its 
tributaries. The outside localities are Lituya Bay, Dixon Harbor, Surge Bay, Takanis 
Bay, Hoktaheen Cove, Icy Point,

Lisianski Inlet, Lisianski Strait, Stag 
Bay, and Soapstone Harbor. The 
runs of salmon to these places, ex- 
cept possibly Lisianski Inlet, are 
entirely separate and unmixed with 
the salmon of Cross Sound and Icy 
Strait. The Cross Sound localities 
are Port Althorp, Bartlett Cove, Berg 
Bay, Cross Sound, Dundas Bay, 
Dundas Point, Goose Island, Gull 
Cove, Idaho Inlet, Inian Islands, 
Inian Cove, Inian Pass, James Bay, 
Lemesurier Island, Mud Bay, North 
Inian Passage, Salmon Beach, Shaw 
Island, South Inian Passage, Cape 
Spencer, Taylor Bay, and Three Hill 
Island. The Icy Strait localities 
are Point Adolphus, Division Point, 
Eagle Point, Excursion Inlet, Port 
Frederick, Groundhog Bay, Pinta 
Cove, Pleasant Island, Porpoise 
Island, Point Sophia, Inner Point 
Sophia, Spasskaia Harbor, The Sis- 
ters, Swanson Harbor, and White- 
stone Harbor. 
Fishing in these several localities 
was virtually unres tricted before J une 
26, 1906, as the only regulation which 
affected the catch was the order of 
January 5, 1903, which prohibited fishing until July 1 in all southeastern Alaska. This 
order was rescinded, however, on April 18, 1904, so that the restriction, whatever its value 
may have been, was applicable in but one season. It may have reduced somewhat the 
catch of red salmon in this district in 1903, as that species makes its appearance in June, 
yet the small amount of fishing gear in use and the few operators engaged in fishing at 
that time could have taken comparatively few additional salmon had the restriction not 
been imposed. This is clearly shown by a comparison of the catch in 1903 with that 
in 1902 when fishing was unregulated and more gear was used than in 1903. When 
the law of 1906 became effective, the placing of barricades at points in streams where
