| Notes | "The 1954 sport fishery for spring chinook salmon was the second poorest on record in terms of the amount of fish produced per unit of angler effort. A river-aide average showed that nearly seventeen angler trips were required to bag each salmon. As a result of the poor return, interest fell and the total angler effort VAS considerably under that experienced in 1953. Throughout the latter part of the season much of the river was practically deserted. Few valid reasons can be given for the lack of success, other than it seemed as if the fish would not strike."
