particularly attractive feature Donkey lake usually receives a visit from Groo and party during the latter part of July Over the Covered Wagon days holidays last month Bill and four friends— Ray

With the aid of the lowly carp' much maligned rough fish that infests many of Wisconsin’s best fishing waters scientists at the University of Wisconsin have discovered a way of making the elusive "muskles” king of all fish in Wisconsin waters give up their spawn for fish propagation purposes The scientists who have been working on the problem are Drs Arthur D Hosier and Roland K Meyer both of the zoology department at the state university Dr Hasler is a former Utahn the son of Dr and Mrs Walter T Hasler of Provo He graduated from the Brigham Young univer- sitv The work Is a part of the endocrinology project of the zoology department Results of the successful experiments which have been conducted at the Chippewa river fish hatchery near Winter Wis were announced recently For years fish propagation experts have had trouble getting spawn from muskellunge considered to be the “fightingest” fish in Wisconsin waters It seems that the "rmiskie” is “man-shy- " When the fish is netted during the spawning season in the spring by state conservation department workers who want to take spawn from them to be hatched In fish hatcheries the “muskie" tightens up refuses to give up her spawn During the last few weeks the fly fishermen have been taking over the waters of the intermountain west and the prospects for Increased catches on flies continued to brighten the week as August and the warm sun wore on Fishing report from all over Idaho and Utah generally Indicated low clear water Not all catches are being made with files however bait and particu- larly salmon eggs finding favor with the silver trout in part of Idaho Henry’ Lake Good Henry's lake In the upper Snake river valley has been reported as the smartest place to fish in that country All varieties of the trout family are being taken on bait although fly fishing is fast gaining momentum Hebgen lake near West Yellowstone Mont continued to yield nice catches to trollers as it has done nearly all season Small streams throughout Idaho were reported generally improving while the Snake river was alternately praised and discounted by fishermen who found that the north and south fork were probably the best bets while below American Falls and Marys dams the fishing is poor In Utah streams ran low and the fly fisherman was having more success than bait casters Fish lake continued to he worth while to fly casters as well as Donkey lake and other prominent southern Utah spots Strawberry reservoir which has been a headache to trollers most of the season was said to be coming in for the fly fishermen The high mountain lakes In the Granddaddy system are ripe for plucking at this time of year and several good catches have been reported Stubborn Captive In other words according ‘Muskie’ to Drs Hasler and Meyer unless the “muskie" when caught Is very “ripe" and practically on the verge of spawning it is almost Impossible to extract any spawn from the fish Fish hatchery workers can place the "muskie” in a large pen and wait for the spawn to “ripen” but as long the female fish is held cape tive in a prison the chances are that she will hold the spawn in a “green" stage making it worthless In hatching work Working on the spawning prob lems of trout last fail in cooperation with Dr Edward Sclineherger of the state conservation department Drs Hasler Meyer and Howard Field also of the university discovered that by injecting extracts from the pituitary gland of carp into the body cavity of the trout holding the spawn this fish could be made to spawn several months earlier than customary The young trout from this spawning are now twice as large as those hatched later during the normal hatching season The early hatch gives the young a longer growing season man-mad- Get Glands From Carp Last summer the two scientists decided to apply the same experiment to "muskies" From hundreds of carp which the state conservation department seined out of Madison lakes' last year they extracted the pituitary gland which is a gland of internal secretion located at the base of the brain In fish as well as in human beings J&- - tb JUt Dr Arthur D Hasler Scientist learns how to “fool” tho muskellunge It' Is this gland which controls many functions of the body especially sexual development Extracts from the pituitary glands of the carp were kept by the two experimenters all winter This spring when the "muskies” started to spawn on the Chippewa they went to the winter hatchery where the hatchery workers had caught a number of “muskies” in nets and had placed them in two different pens under exactly similar conditions The state state university scientists injected the carp gland extract into the body cavities of the “muskies" in one of the pens but did nothing to the “muskies” in the other pen Within three days the "muskies” which had been Injected were "ripe” for spawning and the fish hatchery workers were able to extract spawn for the first time from captive “muskies” On the other hand the “muskies" In the other pen not Injected with the gland fluid steadfastly refused to ripen and give up their spawn The successful spawning experiments with the trout and the “muskies” which constitute another example of science research service to the state by university scientists and faculty members are expected to make an important contribution to increased fish propagation work in the state in the future Drs Hasler and Meyer have already announced that they plan to conduct the experiment on bass next with the idea of Increasing the amount of spawn which state fish hatcheries can obtain from this species also Group Seeks Buffalo EVANSTON Wyo— According to the Uinta County Sportsmen's association plans are being formulated to locate three herds of 15
