This booklet was produced by the Washington Fishermen's Association to demand increased state involvement and legislation in the salmon fishing industry. The text describes fishing methods, contains industry statistics for the years 1883-1892, highlights disputes between Oregon and Washington fishermen [including strikes, riots, and nefarious acts of skulduggery], and emphasizes the need for propagation methods and expansion of hatchery operations.
