These small ponds are stocked
abundantly with brooks, browns,
rainbows, natives, steelheads, and
Iandlocked salmon that can't es-
cape.
Anglers don't even need fish
ing license. The initial fee Of ST
takes care of that and also for the
first 90 ''inches" of trout taken.
Afterward fishermen may take all
the trout they wish at five cents
an inch.
Licensed by the state, and OBJ
tanning their fish from the state
hatcheries. the pools" have de-
veloped into real trout paradise.
The fish snap at flies, spinners or
garden hackle.
Full limits are guaranteed by
the proprietors. Juvenile" polos
