Caption: This chart shows the number of Atlantic salmon caught each year in the Sheepscot River from 1956-1959 by anglers and at a weir at Head Tide Dam operated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Maine Atlantic Salmon Commission, from Stickney (1959). Due to an earlier ice-out date, traps began operating several weeks earlier in the season in 1957 and 1959 than in 1956 and 1958. Because of this, counts for 1956 and 1958 are incomplete and the actual numbers of fish were likely substantially greater than is shown in these data.
