Trout Stocking Program The twelve state hatcheries have capacity stocks of trout ready to plant throughout the season. First to go are the keepers, fish seven inches long and larger. Many of these will weigh up to a pound or more. The majority of them will go into waters readily accessible to fishermen. These waters are the hardest fished and are on a 'put and take' basis. primarily It is expected that 2 million or more of the keeper size trout will be planted from the hatcheries this year for a new high In production. Additional hatchery facilities, plus improved feed and feeding methods are important factors in this expected increase. It is also expected that 6 million and 2te million fingerlings will fry be planted this year. Most of these will be distributed later in the season into the high lakes and streams over the state. The annual stocking program is now underway and will continue through the fall months. The program has been retarded this year due -- to the heavy late snows, inaccessibility of many areas and the Most lower streams heavy run-of- f. usually planted before now will not be stocked until these waters level . off. v New Mexico, Dealer . . . and fnifntt now we offer this entire mm STOCK As Low as . . .
