Note. — No catches were reported in the years omitted from each division of this table. 
It will be seen from an examination of this table that each locality produced all 
species of salmon except kings although in several instances the number of reds and 
cohos was unimportant. The record shows, however, that the distribution was 
fairly general, and that the first localities fished were those which produced a few 
thousand red salmon. In this way the streams at Point Barrie, Red, Shipley, and 
Kah Sheets Bays received early attention. Later the catches included other species 
which ultimately came to exceed greatly in importance the catches of red salmon 
although there was no startling diminution in the yield of that species.
