The mainland shore of Frederick Sound has no important fishery. Traps oper- 
ated between Cape Fanshaw and Bay Point made fair catches in some years, but 
Brown Cove, Farragut, and Thomas Bay were less productive. 
The Mitkof and Kupreanof Islands shores are also relatively unimportant. No 
streams of consequence are located in these sections, except possibly Petersburg 
Creek which was fished heavily for several years until the runs were nearly destroyed. 
This was stopped by the regulations in 1924 and has not since recurred. Traps in 
the vicinity of Cape Bendel and Point Macartney made good catches, but those at 
Boulder Point and Cape Strait were poor producers. Even if a part of the catches 
reported from Portage Bay came from the trap at Boulder Point, which is likely, 
the situation would not be materially changed. The remaining localities in this part 
of the sound, namely, Ideal Cove and Five Mile Creek, are relatively unimportant. 
According to available statistics, fishing was limited to a few seasons and catches 
were small. Perhaps, however, both localities were fished more regularly than the 
records show, the catches being reported as from the sound without more definite 
allocation. It is also probable that a considerable number of salmon were taken 
from Five Mile Creek by fox farmers on the adjacent Sukoi Islets, of which no record
