- LC Subject
- Salmon
- Description
- This is a typical scene showing a group of fishermen near the mouth of the Columbia. The salmon fishing season is comparatively short and the efforts of the fisherman are exceedingly strenuous during this period. In the Columbia river the spring season for salmon opens May 1st. The principal run of the Chinook and Sockeye salmon is in the spring and summer. Other species run best in the fall, so that the season for the Silver Salmon in the smaller rivers of the state is in the autumn. The salmon when taken by net, trap or wheel, are usually transported to the cannery by boat.
