RED SALMON IN LAKES
EARLIEST IN MANY YEARS
Pete Anderson, stream watchman, Bureau of Fisheries, reports that never, since 1903, has he known red salmon go up the streams to the lakes as early as they have this season. Generally they start running up about the 15th of June and stop between the 20th and 25th but this spring reds were seen entering the lakes on the 4th 5th and 6th of this month. It is the fourth year cycle for the fish and may be indicative of large runs later.
Though fishing in the bay started out extra good with large catches every day since the opening of the season, the past few days have been quiet the fishermen bringing very light catches.
