trout is more plentiful today IN Colorado
than in any other state. The easterner
should go to the high Rockies to get the

Colorado can get his native trout best

found in a few streams of southern Mis-
souri, and Arkansas. The rainbow trout
brought to the Ozark country from the
west. has multiplied amazingly in some
waters, notably in Hahatonka lake on
the Snyder estate, in Camden county,
Missouri, where 1t grows to a size and
perfection unknown in its native
streams. The Crappies, too, and the pike
and pike-perch. OF jack-salmon, have IN
recent years been added TO the strings
of anglers in Missouri, Arkansas and
Oklahoma. These originally were
brought from the lake region of Wis

Black bass likewise have been carried

streams. But the most notable triumph
in fish transplanting that ever has been
accomplished is the work Of the govern

was caught in San Francisco bay and in
five years they had become plentiful.
Gradually they appeared in other
