FISH FRY ARE COMING.
Ho- On kee Members Expecting Large
Consignment This Year.

Members Of the Ho-On Kee rod and
gun club are expecting large consign-
ments Of fish fry from the state hatch
cry at the 500 this year ana are al
ready making preparations for handl-
ing them about the latter part of May.
The fish car Fontinalis is already en-
gagged in delivering fry to points in
the iron country at state expense and
IL is generally believed there will be
no difficulty in securing the same ser
vice here that has been accorded i'm
other years. IL is not known how many
fry will be sent to the copper country
waters. but it is believed that the con =
sighment Will he larger than i'm other
years. Some tanks of bass fry are also
expected by local sportsmen, but these
probably will not be received until the
latter part OF July or August os the
conditions then are much more favor
able.
The fishing season will open tomor-
row and local anglers have arranged
to take the fullest possible advantage
of the sport. II is stated that con-
ditions are highly satisfactory and that
there will be some goot catches. Local
followers of Walton are already pre-
pairing their rods and reels and are
dnNiously awaiting an opportunity ia
whip their favorite streams.
