Aberdeen American:-"H. c. He'd
,.,k of Chamberlain, state game war
don was a visitor at Aberdeen last
r;obt en- route to the south part OF
the state from Big Stone Lake where
ho has a force of men removing the
snawn of Pike, pickerel and perch
FOR transfer to the state fish hatchery
on The shore of Lake kampeska, at
Wateltown.
:. we secured lot of first class
snawn during the operations at Big
Stone today said Hedrick. You
understand that in order to secure tne
spawn, the full grown fish must De
taken from the water and the spawn
extracted by hand. We make the
first pull of fish for extracting the
eggs Yesterday. The crew OF men VIII
,erain at Bic Stone TO, some DAYS
and when we have secured about lzo,-
10000 spawn, we will have enough
IN start in operation the fish hatchery
at Watertown The hatchery is al
ready to begin its work as soon as the
spavn are supplied 1t will accommodate
200 four Quart jars and as there are
10000 pike eggs in quart, the
hatchery will produce small f1sh IN
generous abundance when its pro-
eduction is under way. said Mr.. He'd
rick.
j" The Rapid City hatchery where
trout are hatched is doing WELL con-
atinued the game warden. Trout an
inch long are now being delivered
from that hatchery into the streams
of the state where trout will thrive
The Rapid City plant did exceedingly
well during the past winter, because
the winter was mild 1t was the best
wear in the history of the hatchery.
Baby trout from the Rapid City
plant are being placed in the trout
streams of the Black Hills at this
time. We have distributed seventy
six cans from Rapid City in Black
Hills streams, with l 500 young trout
in each can. All these fish were
brook trout Ten cans were placed In
Pass Creek, near kadoka, point east
of Rapid City. in Jackson County on
the Milwaukee Road. That is the
third year for the placing OF small
trout in Pass Creek and by another
season there should be some excellent
trout fishing there.
We are to place some trout IN
the waters of Hartford Beach. Ro-
berts county this year and If the
people will be patient there will be
better trout fishing at Hartford Beach
in few years than there is at the
present time. Some anglers say that
the sport is fine at that beach now
but it will be much better after year
or two.
we are also stocking small
creek in Deuel. county, in a stream
which has it's course through the
town of Gary We expect the stream
to afford fine trout fishing in the
course of time have forgotten the
name of that creek, but any Carlyle
can name it.
we have never been able to use
the Watertown hatchery to capacity
until tbs year, because spawn has
been so hard to secure at the right
season of the year. Fish eggs from
other states have advanced in price
fren1 30 cents to e1.25 per thous2nd
and our funds have been limited. All
ire raoney our department has 10 use
i derived from the recei pts from The
game and fish licenses, sold in the
state and that sum is not large
crouch 10 meet al the expenses Of The
department. We hope some day hat
tho legislature will realize the value
OF the efforts OF the department in
preserving the game birds and game
fish Of the state and make an appro-
priation of funds which will enable it
to do more and better work. But we
ere getting along as well as we can
be expected under the present condi
tions and there will be plenty Of good
fishing in the state in due time
THIS WILL ASTONISH
