The general salmon closure on the coast will be modified this coming week to permit gillnet fishing in waters adjacent to Howe Sound for chum runs bound for Squamish and Cheakamus rivers, the fisheries department announces. .
Fishing, on an experimental basis and subject to earlier closure on 24 hours' notice, will open at 8 a.m., Monday, November 9, and close at 8 a.m., Friday, November 13.
Boundaries of the area run from Reception Point, near Sechelt, to Point Atkinson and from there to Entrance Island, and from Reception Point to Thrasher Rock.
This modification is in addition to that already announced for two small late runs of chums in Nimpkish and Satellite Channel areas, where fishing reopens at 6 p.m., this Sunday, November 8.
In a review of chum salmon runs, the fisheries department reports that "showing of early chums in the Chehalis River is satisfactory, but otherwise the spawning stocks in evidence in streams of the Fraser watershed continue at low level."

FISHERMAN'S UN ION—WOODWARDS LOCAL 11 F.O. VANCOUVER BRANCH
Here's the Record
Hundreds of YORK STREET nylon nets were sold in 1959, and every net proved satisfactory.
High liners in many areas used YORK STREET nets and are repeating for 1960.
THE REASONS:
YORK STREET perfected nylon twines are the strongest and finest science can produce. The quality is controlled from the fibre to the net. The soft lay is perfect. The colors are the best available for B.C. fishing conditions.
YORK STREET D/K Nylon Nets are custom made on machines that take more time to make better nets, more uniform and free of "K" meshes, because the knots are "one directional."
YORK STREET D/K Nylon Nets are pre-shrunk.
YORK STREET D/K Nylon Nets are the lightest nets size for size and therefore may cost you less per net than other nets selling less per lb.
YORK STREET Nylon Nets are guaranteed to be equal to or better than government specifications.
