Seth Green, one of the New York CON-
missoners, announces that young trout |
are only supplied for public waters. All |
persons wanting living fish of any kind
mnst send messenger to Caledonia for
them, or, if desired, the state authorities
will send messenger with the fish, his ex-
penses to be paid by the person desiring the
fish. Brook trout, the only kind that can
be properly transported now, should be put
in small spring rivulets, one and two feet
wide, that supply main stream. The
time for transporting book trout will ex-
pire March 20. Milk cans are used to
carry all kinds of fish. A 70 gallon can
will hold 5000 brook trout. One man can
take care of six cans and transport 10000
fish. In depositing the young fish in the
streams it should be done during the night
when most large fish do not feed. Then
the small ones can find hiding places before
morning.
PIoKERRL FISHING.
Pickerel are being taken out OF the
Rscouette waters this winter by the ton.
They are said to be far superior to the or
binary pickere, possessing more of the
flavor of the muscslonge. This is doubt
less owing to the fact that their principal
article of dietas trout, and also that these
waters are far purer and colder than those
which usually furnish the breeding grounds
of this fish. These are the only waters In
the Adirondack regions where pickerel can
be found. The guides report good pros
. pects for plenty of trout this spring.
About 40, 900 salmon trout were put into
7 the Fulton chain of lakes in the north
woods, recently. Some of the backwoods
: landlords expect to receive 100, 900 salmon
and @, 900 speckled trout from Seth Green,
for stocking the lakes and streams of the
? north woods
