The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1910-01-20

Trout were extremely plentiful in
those early days. Under natural con-
ditions the trout seems to be most
prolific breeder. Whoever has been
into the wilds of Canada or Maine,
where the waters have not been fish
ed, knows how the water ,swarms
with the finny aristocrats. One of the
early settlers of Berlin, who camped
over night near Berlin pond, found
that pail of water dipped from the
stream in the evening, was fairly
swarming with small trout. The fish
were so plentiful that the sons of
this settler, Mr. Sawyer, used to
catch trout and carry them through
the woods to Capt. Ayers, exchanging
them for salt pork, pound for pound.
In waters fit for the habitation of
trout there seem to be as many as
can find food. Every one knows that
there is a remarkable increase in the
number of trout in a stream if a
dam is built spreading the water over
the adjoining land. This seems to be
because large amounts of insect life
are made available for trout food. But
a story as told by DR.. Williams in his
history of the State that discounts
anything told about Lake Mansfield.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1910-01-20

The scene of this story is In Tin
mouth. "A stream which was about
20 feet wide" he says, "and which
like other streams contains trout
and suckers of the ordinary size and
number, had dam built across it for
the purpose of supplying water for
saw mill, This dam formed pond
which covered by estimation about
thick and the soil had never been cul-
tivated. In two or three years the fish
were multiplied in this pond to an in
credible number At the upper end,
where the brook fell in, the fish were
to be ceen in the spring running over
one another, so embarrassed by their
own numbers as to be unable to es-
cape from any attempt made to take
them. They were taken by the hands
at pleasure and swine caught them
without difficulty With a small net
the fishermen would take half
bushel at a draught, and repeat their
fabOrs with the same success. Carts
We're loaded with them in as short
time as people could gather them up
when thrown upon the banks; and it
was customary to sell them in the
fishing season for shilling a bushel.
While they thus increased in numbers
they also became more than double
their former size"
