Many Fish Shipped-Shipment OF
fish for stocking of streams is under
way at practically everyone of the
states fish hatcheries and in spite
of the labor shortage and the diff
culties of transportation, Commits
sioner of Fisheries Nathan r. Butler
has reported good results being OBJ
tanned. Trout shipments this fall
have exceeded expectations said he.
AT the middle of August We did not
expect to be able to do much, but
we have accomplished results and
placed trout in streams where l am
sure they will provide excellent sport
for the first time in years. This is in
a great measure due to the interest
sportsmen are taking. We have sent
out over a million young trout, all
from three hatcheries and the re-
ports are uniformly good. Bass and
bluegills are being distributed in
large numbers and Torresdale has
started shipping out catfish. The
bass we have sent out are fairly well
We have been pretty successful in
Matching bass and have been for
tunate in getting men who were in
terested to receive shipments and
distribute the fish to best advan-
tage. Pleasant Mount is now ship
ping out bass, while Union City is
sending out trout and bass.
