BEAR LAKE HATCHERY. 
Bear Lake Station is fulfilling all ex- 
pectations. Even under adverse weather 
conditions obtaining, this season’s results 
have been most satisfactory. With the 
improved facilities at North Creek Sta- 
tion we were enabled to obtain in excess 
of three million rainbow trout eggs. A 
considerable number of eggs, after being 
“eyed,” were shipped to Mt. Whitney 
and Mt. Shasta hatcheries, where they 
will be hatched, reared and distributed in 
the waters of the state. In excess of one 
million of the eggs will be hatched and 
reared at North Creek Station and at the 
main hatchery near Green Spot Springs, 
for liberation in the streams of San Ber- 
nardino County and Big Bear Lake. 
MOUNT WHITNEY HATCHERY. 
The results of the extensive improve- 
ment work recently commenced at the 
Mt. Whitney Hatchery are beginning to 
show. The large pond is nearly finished, 
and the work on the grounds is progress- 
ing nicely. The fish hatched from Hast- 
ern brook and Loch Leven eggs shipped 
to this station during the early spring 
months are thriving well and are about 
ready for distribution. The steelhead 
trout fry hatched from eggs shipped from 
the Snow Mountain Station are also 
doing well. 
WAWONA HATCHERY. 
repairs to the building, flumes, 
tank, ete., at Wawona Hatchery have

ments of rainbow and steelhead trout 
eges were received at Wawona from Mt. 
and Brookdale hatcheries. The 
resulting fry will be distributed in the 
streams in and around Wawona, as in 
former seasons.
