OLGA BAY STREAMS. 
The streams fished by the Arctic Packing Company are all situated on Olga Bay, 
except one on the outside coast, which, however, is only resorted to at rare inter- 
vals. There are three streams which run redfish: The North Olga, or home stream, 
where the cannery is now located; the South Olga stream, the original site of the 
cannery; and Silver Salmon Bay stream, in the extreme western end of the bay. 
The latter runs very few redfish and can not be depended upon, but, with another 
smaller stream that empties into a cove west of the northern end of the Narrows, it 
has a small run of cohoes. This species may be found in other streams, but they run 
after the cannery closes. Humpbacks and dog salmon are found in all the streams, 
but, as the cannery only seeks redfish, little is known of the abundance of other

species. The Horse Marine stream formerly carried a few redfish, but its entrance 
has become grassy and they have ceased entering. The redfish school around the 
shores of the bay, usually near the streams; they may appear in one place in large 
numbers and a few hours later be miles away. Their movements here seem to 
depend upon the state of the weather and the direction of the wind and sea. 
The Olga Bay streams were examined by Mr. Fassett, and from his notes the 
following account is condensed. 
North Olga , or Home Stream , empties into the bay just east of the cannery. 
It is about li miles in length and flows in a general south-southeasterly direction 
from the lake which is its source. The stream bed winds through low rolling hills
