| Supt. Wallace Berry, Of the Carleton
| brook hatchery, and who will have
charge OF the new hatchery, which. BY
| the way. will still be called the Garlic
ton brook hatchery, when 1t is COM
pleted, was at the Capitol, yesterday.
| in consultation with Chairman Carle-
! ton. of the commission Of inland fish
cries and game.
| III speaking of some of the work
which had been done at the old hatchery
| In The past, and Of the fish that had
been distributed in the lakes of :hiS
vicinity, Mr.. Berry said that as far as
he knew, none of the steel head trout
which were planted in Cobbosseecon .
tee, two years ago, had ever been
caught. II is quite likely that sonic OF
N them have been caught, however. but
those who have caught them would
hardly know the difference between:
them and a landlocked salmon, when
small. for the two fish resemble one
another closely at that age, the chief
difference being that the spots on the
steel head are smaller.
The fish is called n steel head trout.
but ii Is really 4 salmon, and its habi
tat is the Pacific coast. Two years
ago. 1900 of these fish We're
planted in Cobbosseecontee. but it is
not thought likely that they will eve:
be. found in the waters Of the Lake ~
any considerable numbers. One great
drawback to their successful prOpaga-
ton is the fact. that unlike our trout
and salmon. the steel head spawns in
the spring. and the spring season of
fishing is on at just the time that he
should BE- protected. If there are any
of the fish at present in the lake. they
are getting to be pretty good sized,
and should weigh several pounds.
