MICHIGAN RECORD SALMON CATCH IN 1969 Lake Michigan salmon fishermen set a record in 1969 by catching 175,000 cohos and chinooks weighing an estimated 2 million pounds. This was reported by the Depart- ment of Natural Resources. The catch was 75% above 1968's 100,000 fish. The Depart- ment says the increase reflects several plus factors: (1) Bigger plants of cohos. (2) The first substantial returns of adult chinooks: 43,000 of the total catch. (3) More liberal regulations, including relaxed rule on foul-hooking. (4) More "salmon savvy" by fishermen. Each year they come up with new and better techniques and tackle. How Catch Divided The total catch was about evenly divided between the open waters of Lake Michigan and tributary streams. In the streams, the rule permitting fishermen to keep acciden- tally foul-hooked salmon helped considerably to boost the harvest. The Department of Natural Re sources predicts that a record in 1970 seems all but certain. This is because the plants that will produce 1970's salmon crop were three times the size that yielded 1969's catch. This year also will see the first runs of four-year-old chinooks that may reach 40 pounds or more.
