There should be some simple rules for children's fishing, so as 

 to avoid unnecessary destruction of fish, and some provision made 

 for cooking those caught. On conference with camp leaders we 

 can prepare such fishing rules, which should be posted at each 

 camp and on the shores. 



5. Recommendations. In harmony with the preceding dis- 

 cussion of policy we suggest the following: (a) The kinds of fish 

 encouraged should harmonize with a bathing lake, and the copper 

 sulphate treatment, (b) Introduce no new kinds of fish until the 

 present fish found become adjusted to the increased depth, (c) 

 Plant Chain Pickerel to encourage a predaceous fish, and to 

 provide a large fish to create enthusiasm for anglers. 



3. Report on Trout Streams. 



Lewis Brook and Queensboro Brook. 



1. Physical Conditions. These streams are a part of Popolo- 

 pen Creek drainage. The establishment of lakes along these 

 streams are destroying them as trout streams by restricting their 

 area, hastening evaporation and by warming the waters. The 

 clearings along these streams also hasten evaporation, increase 

 temperature, and decrease the food supply. The water supply 

 is unfortunately limited. The establishment of a new dam at 

 Queensboro will destroy a large area of favorable trout stream. 



2. Kinds and Abundance or Fishes. Rainbow Trout, Salmo 

 irideus Gibbons, a few young taken; Fallfish, abundant; Horned 

 Dace, Semotilus atromaculatus (Mitchill), not abundant; Golden 

 Shiners, abundant in quiet pools; Bridled Minnow, abundant 

 near ponds; Common Shiner, abundant; Long-nose Dace, 

 Rhinichthys cataractcB (Valenciennes), few taken; Black-nose 

 Dace, very abundant; Cut-lip Minnow, Exoglossum maxillingua 

 (LeSueur); Common Sucker, very abundant; Eastern Pickerel, 

 abundant near ponds; Chain Pickerel, a few taken; Long-eared 

 Sunfish, few taken near ponds. 



3. Conditions for Fish. Water supply limited in volume and 

 area, waters relatively warm on account of clearing and damming 

 the stream. The food supply is not abundant. Streams probably
