12. Effects of Land Use Improvement on Stream Fisheries (FA: F-l-R). 



This project, located in southwestern Ohio, is set up to study and apply the best 

 known techniques for land use in the Little Miami River drainage area. The 

 objective being to basically tie down the soil ?nd try to control streannflow, 

 therey affording more fishing days and increasing the range for desirable stream 

 species . 



Little Miami River, Clark and Green Counties; began May 1, 1952, planned for 3 



years; $40, 000.

13. Improving Facilities at State-owned and Controlled Lakes. 



This project provides for the construction and maintenance of access roads, park- 

 ing areas, boat ramps, deep shoreline channels, posters, and fishing piers. Lakes 

 may be lowered in the fall to provide better fishing, or may be drained, filled, 

 and restocked. An experinrental catch box is operated at Forked Run Lake. 



Statewide; continuing; Fish Mgt. Supvr s.

14. Liberalized Fishing Experiments. 



The Ohio Wildlife Council passed an order to continue "liberalized fishing" in all 

 Ohio lakes and streams. "Liberalized fishing" means no closed season, no legal 

 length, and no bag limit on any fish. Field men are checking carefully on re- 

 sults and public reaction.

15. Muskellunge Culture. 



Effort is being made to find out how to efficiently propagate and rear "muskies" 

 for stocking in suitable waters as a game and predator species. This work will 

 be confined to the Ohio River Drainage muskellunge.
