Wall-eyed pike fry to the estimated
number of nearly five million were
planted in the waters of lakes near Ely
last week by members of the Ely Com

dens and the U. S. Forest Service men.
The fry was secured from the Tower
hatchery where Warden Paul Goodell,
of Marshall, Minnesota, in charge OF
the hatchery, had successfully secured
spawn at Pike River and had Matched
the fry. A large number were returned
to the waters of Lake Vermilion but
enough had been held out for the de-
mands of the Ely district.
The fry had Matched the day previous
to their shipment here and trucks from
this city went to Tower to get the little
fellows for stocking the Ely lakes They
were transported here without much
loss and the planting was Immediately
done under expert supervision.
In all, 374 cans of the fry were re-
ceived here. Each can contained an
estimated $1,000 fry. Calculating the
374 cans. there are about 100000 OF
the fry in the shipment.
