Trout. 
The commission has purchased, during the past year, and 
planted in the several streams of the State, 32,000 yearling trout. 
Good catches of trout have frequently been reported by the fish- 
ermen. 
Shad. 
The commission has received from the United States Fish Com- 
mission, through the courtesy of the Hon. George M. Bowers, the 
following shipments of shad fry: June 4, 1901, 2,125,000, which 
were distributed as follows: 350,000 in the Pawtuxet river, 700,- 
000 in Runnins river, and 1,075,000 in Palmer river at the shad 
factory. The trap fishermen made good catches of shad in the 
early parts of the spring, both in Palmer river and in Runnins 
river. Several complaints were made to the commissioners that 
the length of the leaders of some of these traps was too great, and 
the owners were promptly notified and shortened the leaders.
