The birds have been distributed in
the following counties: Amador, Gala

SCOTS Creek Now
Fish Preserve

The state board Of fish commission
ers has recently made e move in a new
direction, the result of which will be
watched with great deal OF interest,
and which. II Is believed. will meet
with the approval or all sportsmen and
others interested IN angling.
1t has the past week procured the
exclusive rights on SCOTS creek, one
of the most valuable coast fishing
streams in Santa Cruz county. The
different property owners along the
stream have signed an agreement ced-
ing all their rights so far as fishing is
concerned for 100 feet on each side OF
the stream to the California fish COM
mission.
SCOTS creek has been known as one
of the greatest steelhead streams in
the country, and at the time II was
lawful to take steelhead trout with
nets tons were caught and hauled
away from the mouth of that stream.
Santa Cruz county has been main
tanning a spawning station on that
creek, but this station will now be un-
der the control OF the fish commission
ers, who will operate II next season
and will prosecute any one found tres
passing on the stream The idea is TO
see IL the stream cannot be restored TO
its original condition by keeping IL
closed from all fishing for g term OF
three years.
This act on the part OF the fish COM
nlissioners is heartily indorsed and
supported by the board OF supervisors
OF Santa Cruz county. Frank Shelley,
superintendent OF the BrookdaIe hatch
cry. and all who have a proper appre-
citation of the subject
The stream has been thoroughly
posted with warning signs, and c. A.
lu r1-, ~ -,
Cruz county. has been appointed by the
fish commissioners 10 patrol the stream
and also TO keep an eye on violators
Of the game laws.
The eggs taken from this station
will be Matched at the Brookdale
hatchery and the fry distributed in the
coast counties.
