inches long, they are planted in the
stream: and lakes. Rainbow can be
planted when six weeks old.
How Spawn Are Secured
The spawn for the eastern brook
trout is secured by the local hatchery
from Phelan's lake, beginning about
the 2Oth of October and continuing
until the first of December. When
the fish come in on the spawning
beds. the spawn are seined out, the
eggs are squeezed away and the fish
thrown back into the lake and the
spawn brought in to the hatchery.
In former years a few cutthroat
and rainbow were taken from the
Pend Oreille lakes, but this has been
discontinued as the spawning beds
are small and distributed all the way
around the lake and not many can
be secured in any one place. Accord
ingly, rainbow and cutthroat are

from some private concern or from
the federal government or from the
state. The spown of these fish are
secured the latter part of March and
the latter part of May. "Some-
times" states Mr.. Rhodes, 1--WE get
a better run of spawn at night and
Other times along in the afternoon,
but almost any time through the day
is fairly good for eastern brook.
Eleven TO two o'clock is the best
time to secure rainbow spawn. Just
before a storm heavy run can be
obtained"

Read the Laws
Mr.. Rhodes states that there are
some radical changes in the game
laws that the sportsmen will do well
to note this year. Most Of the i'm
portant changes are printed on the
back of the license cards. One
change in regard to the shooting of
waterfowl makes it a misdemeanor
to shoot at any waterfowl on an
island. The most important change,
however, is that law which restricts
to one male deer and makes it a
misdemeanor to have a female deer
in ones possession in eastern Wash
ington. Another section of the game
law makes it misdemeanor to
shoot from an aeroplane, or from
any vehicle across a public highway.
1t is also a msdemeanor to be
found in localities frequented by deer
with any artificial light, after sun
down.
Deer Plentiful
Deer are reported to be more
plentiful in the woods this winter
than for a number of years, the
black tail seem to be on the in
crease and the white tail to be hold
ing their own.
Can Sell Bear Skins and Meat
Bear will probably be as plentiful
as last year and the season is just
the same on them. One change of
Importance, however, is that the bear
skin and bear meat can be sold.
Heretofore this has been prohibited.
One Pole and Line
A trow line from a row boat is
fishing, according to the law, which
also states that fishermen shall
restrict themselves to one pole and
line. The man who anchors two or
three poles from the shore or an
