Hemlock stream at Locke, and in both of these streams I have 

 caught a large number of rainbow trout from five inches to seven 

 a'ud one-half inches in length, all of which have been returned to 

 the stream. On the Hemlock stream, in almost every riffle, a 

 rainbow will rise to the fly."

Steelhead Tkout 

 On May 4, 1914, some eggs of steelhead trout were received in 

 fine condition at the Cold Spring Harbor hatchery. These were 

 presented by the United States Bureau of Fisheries from one of 

 its hatcheries in the State of Washington. The fish developed 

 from these eggs were planted in Long Island waters. 



Brook Trout 



Eggs of this species were collected from October 18 to No- 

 vember 26, 1913, for the Adirondack hatchery in Little Clear 

 lake and Bone pond and from brood fish at the station. The 

 maximum number of eggs was taken November 5th — 15,375. 

 The total number was 108,000. 



The Fulton Chain hatchery secured eggs of this trout from 

 October 13 to November 2, 1913, from Middle Branch, Old 

 Forge pond and Fourth lake. The total collection was very small. 



Mr. C. H. Putnam, of Auburn, N. Y., writing on July 6, 1914, 

 states the following about brook trout : 



"As to the native brook trout, I think from the large number 

 of trout running close to seven inches that we are catching fish 

 planted last summer." 



Lake Trout 



The egg-collecting season at the Adirondack hatchery began 

 October 19, 1913, and ended on November 19th. They were ob- 

 tained from Big Clear and Little Clear lakes and Green pond. 

 The total number was 161,000. From the Caledonia hatchery 

 were sent 350,000 lake trout eggs for development and distribution. 



Eggs of this fish were collected in the channel between the Third 

 and Fourth lakes of the Fulton Chain from October 24 to No- 

 vember 18, 1913, both inclusive. The total was small, numbering 

 only 52,756 eggs. The greatest number obtained in one day was 

 10,900, on November 5th.
