Cloudbursts are cited as the true
cause Of scarcity Of salmon in the
Columbia by a lower river seiner who
was in the city yesterday, but declined
to let his name be used for publica-
ton. The seiner said that cloudbursts
were so frequent on the upper streams
that tie river was ''like ink" for weeks,
impregnated with brick clay and al
kali and 'few salmon would nose into
such water at ALL"
"The fish would come up to the mouth
of the Columbia on flood tide" said he,
''but would 60 back on the ebb, when the
river water swept down on them. This
was during thes months of July and
August, and gill-netters made large
catches at the mouth of the river as far
as the salmon would come up, or as
far as Sand Island. Above that point
there We're few fish"
The speaker went on to say that the
reason alleged for few salmon at
hatcheries, namely, fishing past the
closed season, is ''all bosh." Said he:
"In my opinion those cloudbursts
were the sole and only reason for
scarcity of eggs at the Chinook and
Kalama hatcheries, which did as well
as in former years, for the river cleared
up about August TO- and the fish run
fairly well up as far as Kalama. But
about September 1 another cloudburst
occurred ON the upper river, and the
fish were stopped again from reaching
the hatcheries on the upper river. But
for these cloudbursts l believe there
would have been plenty OF fish for all
and Matching purposes as well.
Il think there should be closed sea-
son in the spring, say to May Is, so
we can propagate early spring fish, as
has been done with the summer run.
II we make the closed season up to
June / the fish that enter the river up
to say May Is will be all caught by the
up river gear, as it takes the fish about
fifteen days to reach the up river gear.
"a dead line should be established
near the mouth of the river, where
there are several channels for the fish
to enter, and no fishing should be al
lowed below such dead line. AS the
pounding of the sand by the seas roll
ing in at the mouth Of the river keeps
the water rolled and gill-nets fish day
and night, and as there is only one
channel for the fish to enter the river.
the Ash are not allowed enough chance
to enter. Portland Oregonian.
