State Has Leased 20 Brooks and Stocked Them With 7S,00O Trout for Sportsmen-Persons Over 16 Years of Age Require Licenses.

More than SO,000 anglers arc ex- pected to take advantage of the opening days of the trout season, which will begin Tuesday, April 1o, and at least 10000 will be licensed before the end of the fishing period. These estimates arc made by the state board of fisheries and game, based on statistics of other years including the actual count of fisher men on streams and the number of licenses issued in the state.
 Twenty streams, leased and stock ed by the state, will be ready for public fishing at the opening ot the season. In these waters will be more than 7s,oOo legal length trout which have been put in since last season, besides thousands left from last year. More than 300 streams not under state lease, but open for public fish ing, have also been stocked by the state.
