An Indian last year speared what is believed to be the biggest Chinook ever taken on the west coast of B.C. It weighed 104 H pounds. Meanwhile, steelhead up to 52 pounds have1 been taken in tributaries of the Skeena on sport tackle, and the same species of fish weighing over 60 pounds have been landed In commercial nets from the same river. SILVERS GO BIG Cohoe or Silver salmon arrive in coastal waters contiguous to Prince Rupert late in July and during August most of the big fish are taken. Most of these fish seek the Naas River and its tributaries for their return to fresh water. The Naas is another great salmon spawning stream. Other smaller streams emptying into tidewater also offer good salmon escapement.

GOOD BEAR HUNTING Spring and fall bear hunting, goat and deer hunting, and migratory bird shooting provide excellent opportunities for the nimrod. Black bears are numerous and easily hunted in May and June. Grizzlies are available in good numbers in certain coast localities, and while springtime is the best for their furs, hunting is best in the fall when as many as a dozen can be seen at a time catching salmon In the mouths of tidal streams. Goats are very common on the coast mountain ranges and are comparatively easily hunted because the peaks are so accessible by water transportation. Deer are particularly numerous in certain localities, such as Porcher, Banks and Pitt Islands The stimulus created by Industrial development is reflected In growth of population and greater demand for electrical energy. To meet this situation the Northern B.C. Power Co. Ltd., over the past three years has more than doubled Installed generating plant capacity. ,In the same period throughout the areas served by this Company, usage of electrical energy has increased by twenty-one per cent. Surplus power is available for expanding requirements, still further sources have been surveyed and a program planned to meet the challenge of the future.
