Most Profitable Salmon Season The most profitable season from the salmon fishermen's standpoint which has ever been experienced In the Prince Rupert area Is drawing to a close. Earn ings btboth trollers -and gillnet ters have been heavier than ever before recorded, figuring In the thousands of dollars where formerly the hundreds used to be normal. On the Skeena River glllnet- ters have averaged close to $1800. it is estimated, with a high of some $2100 and low of $500. This is away ahead of 1944 which lt-sslf had been reckoned a good season with the average earning having been about $1000. In pre-vipus years a $500 average used to be considered a fair season's earnings. There have been upwards of 700 trollers operating on the Skeena this year. What goes for the gftlnetters also has gone for the trollers, earnings of $3000 having been not at all unusual this year. Around Dundas Island and Wark Canal not far from Prince Rupert the coho run Is still keeping up well as September opens with the full fieet of 400 boats still out and earning $40 or $50 per day. Fishermen at Bernard Cove on Banks Island further down the coast are also having a good run of cohoes. Ten fsh canneries are now active in this district and none of these are likely to close before mid-September. So far this season Wales Island has been the only cannery to finish work and close up. However, North Pacific was closing at the week-end. It Is believed -that no more than 50 gill netters are operating on the Skeena River at present with another 30 on the Naas. Last week upwards of 80 fishing boats left here to try their luck In Gardner Canal but nq reports on the results have been forthcoming as yet. Fishermen will soon be going over to the Queen Charlottes after chums and, In fact, some already have left for the Islands. The canned salmon pack in the Naas and Skeena Rivers areas for the week ending August 25 amounted to 389,486 cases, according to the weekly bulletin Issued by the chief supervisor of fisheries, Vancouver. Of this total number 212,036 cases were pinks. 120.391 sock- eye, 31,704. coho, 21,934 chums, 2,517 springs and 904 steelheads.
