The absence of heavy rains the past
month is assigned as favorable for trout |
protection by a number of old fishers.
After heavy rains trout swim far up the |
streams and when the fresbet subsidies |
many fish are left stranded in shallow |
water and die. In, wet seasons it is |
estimated that a large number of fish |
perish from this cause. The past winter |
has been favorable for the trout. In |
very cold winters when the streams are |
locked with heavy ice the fish are pre-
vented from getting their accustomed |
AOOo supply anu USCone very poor, ana |
when the trout season begins the fish |
have not recovered their good condition. |
The past winter has not been severe and |
trout have not been imprisoned in the |
brooks and prevented from feeding. 1t |
is too late to bring damage to the trout
family from the effects Of icy streams,
but 1t is not too late to have many fish |
perish by getting land-locked after the |
subsistence of swollen streams.
