| Notes | While the 1929 salmon in Puget Sound was large, this was not the case on the Oregon Coast, where low water was blamed for light returns. “The Siletz River had relatively the best salmon run on the Oregon coast from Yaquina Bay north to the Columbia, proving to be the best this stream has had in some years. Consisting principally of very large Silvers, the Siletz run was an important factor on the Oregon coast this fall. On Yaquina Bay the situation was rather disappointing, the catch dwindling long before the end of the season, Nov. 15. The run into this bay is never large, Yaquina deriving its salmon principally from the troll operations during the summer. As there are no canneries at this point, the fish go for fresh shipping, mild curing and freezing.” (p.17) |
