LITTLEVALLEY
is CLOSED

Little Valley fishing waters ar,

Hill Water Company.
The creek in the valley flows from
Martlette lake, gathers several small
brooks and emerges ut Franktown
after passing through several miles
Of valley and gorge. From the foot
OF Little Valley to Mariette lake, tlis
creek is probably one of the finest
mountain brook trout creeks in the
country.
The fish in this stream are of the
char family and spawn in the autumn
instead OF spring as do some other
families OF trout. The fish commits
sion has depended upon this stream
Tor many years for the spawn OF
eastern brook trout, with which the
stream is stocked.
Tae water company has always
viewed with displeaSure camping and
other parties that invade the valley
the whole OF which is inside the land
holdings OF the Hobart estate and
the water company.
Now they announce that hereafter
trespassers on the land, whether
they be fishermen or not, will be
warned off the lands owned by them.
Campers will not be allowed and the
creek is patrolied from one end to
the other to warn persons out OF the
canyon.
The fish commission has taken ad |
of the decision OF the own.
,rs of the land to couple a fish pro-
that the supply OF spawn |
may not be damaged and the fish al |
'cady in the creek may grow to suit

fitted.
Heretofore II permit has been nee.
aSsary to fish in the reservoir Or in
Narlette lake. Now the permit is
necessary To fish in the valley and no
permits are to be issued. at the re-
lucst OF the fish commission.
