recommend that in 'he northern dis

prohibited each year until July 15th,
opened from July 15tli to September
15th and closed for the balance of
the year; that in the southern dis
trict of Southeastern Alaska, that
the closed season for these type of
gbai lie iron January 1st to July

December 31st. This will pro
tect ihe early runs of salmon which
are now about depleted, and will
put tlie fish iraps and seines on an

aaidled by themselves. tTsually
fishing can l>,. done only a very few
houi i each day, and usually only
on i he down tide because of the
snags which seem to point down

that tlie Stikine River, the Taku

the peculiar conditions at each
place.
