Pike Fry Are Distributed.

The Wisconsin fish commission has
completed the distribution of wall
eyed pike fry for the season of 1912
Some 110,000,000 pike were transport
ed to and planted in the many inland
lakes and rivers of the state. The
eggs were taken from the parent fish
caught in the Wolf rive. above Winnie
come and from Tahahawk lake, near
Minocqua. The eggs of the pike av-
erage 10000 to the quart, therefore
the fry when Matched are very small.
1t is also a popularity of the pike that
cannibalism among the fry. when in
confinement, starts when they are but
five days old, necessitating the imme-
date shipment of the small fish. No
tees of fry shipments are sent to
every applicant several days in adj
vance Of the time and train on which
the fish will arrive.
The commissioners now secure their
supply of pickerel eggs from Toma-
hawk lake, a body of water in which
pickerel we're never known to exist
until introduced and stocked by the
commission some ten years ago.
One carload Of wall-eyed pike fry
and 10000 pickerel fry were distribu-
ted among the Madison lakes the past
week.
The cold weather of the past winter,
which caused most of the smaller
streams and lakes to be frozen solid
ly, has resulted in great loss in the
fish population.
