INTRODUCTION. 
The fishes of the Yellowstone National Park constitute one of the 
most interesting and noteworthy attractions of that wonderland. 
The special appeal which the fishes make to the park visitors comes 
partly from the beauty, gameness, and variety of the fishes, and 
partly from the inspiring environment in which fishing may be done. 
Among the wild, backboned animals in the park the fishes are the 
only ones whose killing is allowed and encouraged by the park 
authorities. The greatly increased number of visitors to the park 
in recent years has brought the fishes into unusual prominence and 
necessitates renewed efforts to maintain the supply by means of 
artificial propagation and protection. 
It is Hoged that this little document relating to fishes and fishing 
may serve a useful purpose beyond merely furnishing information 
for anglers. Increased knowledge of the park fishes should have the 
effect of increasing the public appreciation of the extraordinary 
opportunity for healthful recreation that the park affords, and at
