USE OF BOATS FOR
DUCK HUNTING EXPLAINED

The Montana Fish and Game
Department this week called at
tention of waterfowl hunters to
the federal regulations regarding
the use of boats. Hunters of ducks
and geese may use a motorboat as
a shooting site if such boat is
beached, resting at anchor or tied
to a hunting blind or fixed OBJ
ject. The motor-driven boats may
be used to retrieve injured or
dead birds fl hunters do not shoot
while the boat is moving. A mo-
torboat may also be used from
which to shoot cripples after the
motor is shut off, the anchor drop
ed and forward motion has ceased.
It has come to the attention of
the department that hunters were
enormously advised that motor
boats could not be used at all
while hunting waterfowl. The
federal regulations further state
that 'fbridS may not be taken
from or by means of a sailboat
or other boat or floating craft
having a motor attached unless
such boat, craft or saiIboat j
| be-ched, resting at anchor or fas-
I tened within or tied Immediately
alongside of any type of a hunt
ing blind or is used solely as {
means of picking up dead or in
jured birds"

HUNTING
ROUNDUP

Hunting success improved dur
ing the past week. A fresh snow
fall and rain helped hunting con-
ditions over many of the noun
tain areas. Because of lower sue
cess, the harvest early in the sea-
son in relation to the number of
hunters statewide is still only
fair to good. Hunters are looking
forward to more severe weather
when deer and elk will move to
lower elevation ranges.
The elk check at the Darby sta
lion in the MisSoula area is about
the same as last year. To date,
hunters have taken 1914 elk in
addition to 1T mule deer, four
whitetails, five black bears, seven
moose and two goats.
The Bonner station reported
At elk, 81 mule deer, 70 white
tails and seven black bear while
at Frenchtown hunters reported
81 elk, 80 mule deer" 33 Whitehall
and three bear. Registered at Ana
conda were 25 elk, 40 mule deer
and one goat.
High count in the south fork
hunting areas was at Coram. A
check at this station showed 70
elk, five mule deer, 10 whitetails,
eight goats and four bears. Hun
tiers checking through at Thomp-
son River reported SIS elk, "a
mules, 20 Whitehall and one bear.
At Hungry Horse, 81 elk, six
mule deer, one Whitehall, two
goats and two bear were checked

The Sidney Eagles finished the

SALMON SPAWNING
OPERATIONS IN PROGRESS

A ha1f-milliOn KOkanee salmon
eggs have been taken at Flathead
Lake and Lake Mary Roman by
Montana Fish and Game Depart
ment hatchery personnel this fall.
Before the operations are over, it
is expected that nearly eight mil
lion eggs will have been taken,
Forest Keller, hatchery Super1n-
tendent reported.
The eggs are placed at the Som
ers hatchery at Flathead and held
there for Matching and further
growth before planting in state
waters. Most of the fish are plant
ed in western and central lakes of
Montana. However, some will be
nlanted in Nelson Reservoir near
Malta in north central Montana.
Spawning operations at FIathead
are important, Keller said, because
il reduces the population Of the
Kokanee species and promotes the
growth of this species in the lake.
Because of the large number OF
eggs which have been taken from
Flathead in the past, it was noted
that Kokanee are somewhat larg-
| er in the lake this year.
Other fall spawning operations
| also took place at the Arlee hatch
erv where one million Rainbow
eggs were taken recently. A goal
of five million rainbow eggs has
been SGT for this operation. The
rainbow eggs, after growth, Will
be planted in state lakes next
spring.

BY Lloyd G. Casagranda
Mont. Fish & Game Dept.

The small investment required
for the production of lingering
fish and the fact that such small
beginnings can populate an en-
tire lake with mature fish, makes
CHS a highly satisfactory kind of
stocking. A case in point is the
s. w. Cole Gravel Pit, located
approximately ten miles north
west of Saco.
In August, 1859, 1920 finger
Ling rainbow trout (about 2 inch
es in lengthy were planted in this
artificial lake. 1t had no existing
fish population. On October 81,
1850, fourteen months later, Cliff
Hill, District Fisheries Manager
for the Montana Fish and Game
Department, sampled the pond
with gill nets. The results were
bordering on the spectacular.
Fourteen rainbow trout averag-
ing 16.5 inches and weighing an
average of is pounds were
caught. The longest fish taken
measured 1874 inches and weigh
ed in at 2.5 pounds.
Several factors acted to pro-
duce the above results. The fling
erlings were introduced into new
habitat conditions. No other fish
populations were present and food
was plentiful. The Cole Gravel
Pit contained every item needed
by trout except adequate spawn
ing facilities By supplying fling
erling-sized trout as a substitute
for natural reproduction, the fish
hatchery was assuming its true
role in modern fisheries manage
ment.
The most fire and smoke in
the fiSh-Stocking picture is be-
ing generated over the problem
of maintaining trout fishing.
The most popular idea with
which anglers propose to per-
petuate their sport is by insisting
that hatcheries provide an mex
hauStible supply of large-sizec
(catchable) trout. These to be
dumped periodically into favorite
fishing hauntS.
Large trout cost a lot to raise
According to a report made il
1883 by biologist Jack Bailey
of the Montana Fish and Game
Department, an eight-inch trou
costs about thirty-three cents
while his smaller cousin cost
only about two cents. By apply
ing these figures to the Cole Pit
we see that the cost of the small
fish was $66.40. If larger fist
had been used, $1,095.60 woul,
have been required from licens
money to provide the sam
amount of fishing. AS evidence,
in the above findings, anglin
can be provided at a nomina
cost.
Not all ponds are capable c
growing and supporting a trou
population. After investigation b
biologists, only those impound
ments believed capable of pre-
viding a fishery r selected fo
management.
Obviously a pond cannot SUP
port good fishing indefinitely
no spawning facilities exist. A
fish deteriorates due to lack {
fish available to the angler, mon
