Show FISH FROM THE BEAVER HATCH-ERYJPLANTED HATCH-ERYJPLANTED Over 25000 Eastern Brook tront were taken up to Kent's lake and planted Tuesday and 35,000 were planted in the new Hi-Low reservoir, and 110,000 were placed In small reservoirs in the neighborhood of the hatchery, where they will be kept until the road to Puffer lake Is opened open-ed to travel, which will be about the 10th of Jund. Besides all these, about 55,000 were taken to Paragoonah lake some days ago. This makes about 225,-000 225,-000 small fish to be taken already from the Beaver hatchery which Is now empty. As soon as the tanks can be given coat of shellac, they will be filled with Rainbow trout eggs for the fall planting in the streams. While the hatchery will hold only about a quarter quar-ter of a million Eastern Brook, owing ow-ing to the fact that the fish must be kept in the tanks until the snow Is off the mountain roads before they can be planted. The hatchery will hold' over a half million Rainbow. They can be planted plant-ed when quite small, as they go into the streams much lower in elevation than the lakes, and the roads are always al-ways passble in the fall. Fishermen in Beaver county are looking forward to the best season this year they have had in many years past, and they are justified in expecting still better fishing next year. |
