  EEPORT 
  OF 
  COMMISSIONER 
  OF 
  FISH 
  AND 
  FISHERIES. 
  [6] 
  

  

  From 
  300 
  to 
  500 
  nearly 
  adult 
  fish 
  were 
  planted 
  at 
  each 
  locality, 
  and, 
  

   if 
  the 
  waters 
  prove 
  suitable 
  and 
  reasonable 
  protection 
  is 
  afforded, 
  we 
  

   may 
  in 
  a 
  few 
  years 
  expect 
  to 
  find 
  the 
  California 
  trout 
  common 
  in 
  the 
  

   streams 
  above 
  referred 
  to. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  fall 
  and 
  early 
  winter 
  of 
  1SS4-'S5 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  rainbow 
  trout 
  

   bred 
  at 
  the 
  station 
  spawned. 
  The 
  spawning 
  began 
  in 
  December 
  and 
  

   continued 
  up 
  to 
  the 
  first 
  of 
  March, 
  yielding 
  49,000 
  eggs 
  of 
  fair 
  quality.
