WYOMING (Cont. ) 



was made in one large lake after partial draining and in a nunnber of small lakes 

 and reservoirs. Bays of two large reservoirs were rotenoned during periods of 

 rough fish concentrations. 



Statewide; began July 1950, continuing. 



Address inquiries to: A. F. C. Greene, as in No. 1 above. 



3. Fish Salvage and Transplanting. 



The objective is to salvage game fish species from waters suffering drought 

 conditions or otherwise becoming unsuitable as fish habitat and transplanting to 

 suitable waters where they will be available to the State's anglers. Over -population 

 may also be reduced at times with part of their numbers being transplanted to 

 waters better able to maintain them. In some instances forage fish and other 

 aquatic life may be transplanted to bolster existing natural fish feeds, and fish 

 are removed from unscreened irrigation diversions when stranded. 



Statewide; began January 1951, continuing. 



Address inquiries to: A. F. C. Greene, as in No. 1 above. 



4. Development of Farm Pcjids, Small Reservoirs and Lakes. 



The project objectives are to investigate and develop fishing waters in areas 

 not presently adequately supplied and to carry on subsequent follow-up management 

 procedures. 



Statewide; began 1950, continuing. 



Address inquiries to: A. F. C. Greene, as in No. 1 above. 



5. Lake DeSmet Project. 



The objective of this project is to secure detailed information relative to the 

 conditions and fish populations of this lake which can be applied in returning this 

 lake to its original condition of an excellent fishery. 



Johnson County; began winter 1950, to close spring 1955; Louis S. Pechacek, 

 Leader. 



Address inquiries to: A. F. C. Greene, as in No. 1 above. 



6. Sand Creek Trout Population Studies. 



The objective of the project is to make a concerted study of this creek for 

 information which can be used not only for the management of the creek itself 

 but also as a means of comparative study with other streams of known types. 



Crook County; began July 1950, to close January 1954; Fred M. Eiserman, 

 Leader. 



Address inquiries to: A. F. C. Greene, as in No. 1 above. 



7. Life History and Managennent Study of Rocky Mountain Whitefish in Wyoming, 



The objectives of the project are to determine the competition of this species, 

 if any, with trout; to determine the seasonal nnovements of the species; and to 

 study its life history as pertains to its habitat in Wyoming, from this informa- 

 tion to establish a management program and enhance its position in the State's 

 fisheries. 



Lincoln, Park, Sheridan, Sublette and Teton Counties; began January 1952, 

 to close January 1955. 



Address inquiries to: A. F. C. Greene, as in No. 1 above. 



8. Experimental Hybridization of Brook and Mackinaw Trout. 



Objectives of the project are to cross the two species (male Mackinaw x 

 female brook and female Mackinaw x male brook); to propagate the hybrids for 

 taxonomic studies; to experimentally breed the hybrids by artificial reproduc- 

 tion;'to stock the hybrids in a virgin lake to determine their survival and prac- 

 tical management values.
