Natural Reproduction, Age, Growth, and Catch of Brown, Rainbow and Brook Trout 

 (FA: F-l-R in part). 



The project aims to determine the approximate total catch and the catch per unit of 

 effort, and to establish the age, growth and natural reproduction of the game fish 

 in the experimental section of Clear Creek. This information will be determined 

 initially under the present rate of stocking and finally under no stocking of hatchery 

 fish. The study will concentrate mainly on the fish populations which can be sampled 

 by means of electrical fish shocking apparatus, seines and creel census. 



Clear Creek, Johnson County; began August 1, 1952, to be completed December 31, 



1954; $11,000; Fred Eiserman, Project Leader.

The Survival of Hatchery Reared Fish in the Big Laramie River (FA: F-l-R in part). 



The study is aimed at the determination of the approximate percentage survival, to 

 the fisherman's creel, of hatchery reared fish of various sizes, as well as an 

 estimate of the mortality in the stream of these same fish during stipxilated time 

 periods. In addition, a comparison will be made of the census techniques presently 

 employed as a method of evaliaating stocks of fish present in such a stream. as the 

 Big Laramie River. 



Big Laramie River, Albany County; began August 1, 1952, to be completed December

Lake and Stream Surveys and Inventories (Proj. l-FR-6). 



Because there is a shortage of good fishing lakes and streams in the State, potential 

 lakes and reservoirs are being surveyed and classified as to possibilities of 

 developing them into good recreational areas. 



Statewide; began January 1, 1951, continuing; $2, 000.

Lake Rehabilitation Projects (3-FD-6). 



The objective of this program has been to eradicate all fish species in certain lakes 

 and reservoirs so as to develop a more desirable game fisheries. Twenty-six 

 lakes, comprising 678 acres, have been treated, and, in addition, partial effort 

 has been made to control coarse fish on three lakes. 



Statewide; began July 1950, continuing; $1,000.
