The salmon is found in the northern parts of Japan, especially 
in Hokkaido. It ascends the rivers of those parts for spawning ; 
and at that season it undergoes a great change in shape as well as 
in color. It usually attains the length of about three feet, and 
weighs 12-17 lbs., but large specimens sometimes measure about 
four feet in length and weigh about twenty pounds.

sip (leader shortened), 
This is used along the coast of the province of Tokachi in 
Hokkaido. It consists of a large bowl made of hemp and a leader 
made of straw. The latter is 750 feet-1500 feet long, and its 
meshes are 24-7 inches. Intercepted by the leader, the fish follow 
it and enter the bowl. At this time a netting which has hitherto 
been kept lowered is raised, and the mouth of the bow! is closed; 
The fish are landed by gradually tucking in the bowl.
