Bull Cr.--6 mi. According to Merriam, there was a large
settlement on Bull Cr. It could not have been supported without
fish.
Salmon Cr.--5 mi. Goddard mentions fishing on at least part of
this stream.
Mattole R.--10 mi. The fish go beyond this stretch at least as
far as Thorn (Dept. of Fish and Game).
MATTOLE 38.5 mi.
Mattole R.--25 mi. The fish go considerably beyond here in the
Mattole.
North Fork Mattole--5 mi. North Fork is a sizable stream and
there were several villages along it, so it probably had fish in it.
Sea Coast--8.5 mi. The Mattole have 17 mi. of sea coast. This
has been halved in accordance with the principle stated above.
BEAR RIVER 21 mi.
Bear R.--18 mi. This figure is rather arbitrary since the
information is poor for this stream. It is known that silver salmon
and steelhead are caught there and that there is a fall run of King
salmon (Dept. of Fish and Game).
Sea Coast--3 mi. The Bear River group has 6 mi. of sea coast,
halved for present purposes.
NONGATL 85 mi.
Van Duzen R.--40 mi. Steelhead go up as far as Eaton Roughs
(40 mi.). Silver salmon go up as far as Grizzly Cr. (21 mi.) and
probably as far as Eaton Roughs. There are no data on King salmon
but it is known that there is a fall run of them here. Information
from Dept. of Fish and Game.
Eel R.--5 mi. All 5 mi. of the Eel in Nongatl territory should
provide excellent fishing.
Larabee Cr.--20 mi. There is no direct information on this
stream, but it is of considerable size and there were many villages
at least 20 mi. up.
Yager Cr.--20 mi. Again we have no direct information but
there are many villages far up on this stream. Twenty miles of
available fishing is probably a conservative estimate.
Mad R.--0 mi. There is a long stretch of Mad R. in Nongatl
territory but, according to the Dept. of Fish and Game, no fish go
up so far.
WHILKUT 70 mi.
Mad R.--27 mi. There is a 12-ft. falls at Bug Cr. which
represents a nearly complete barrier to salmon. This means that
there are salmon in nearly all the territory of the Mad R. Whilkut.
North Fork Mad R.--8 mi. According to Merriam, there were
fishing camps nearly this far up on North Fork.
Redwood Cr.--35 mi. There is no direct information on this
stream. I have attributed salmon to nearly its whole length because
of the size of the stream and the large number of villages along
its upper course.
HUPA 39 mi.
Trinity R.--27 mi. There are fish in this whole stretch (Dept.
of Fish and Game).
South Fork Trinity--12 mi. There are known to be salmon in
South Fork, and presumably they go up as far as the border of Hupa
territory.
