year for the past twenty-five years; they were mixed and dis- 

 tributed along with the brook trout fry ; hence they can be found in 

 most of the streams where brook trout were planted. The brown 

 trout have thrived in many streams and a report has been received 

 of a single fish being caught that weighed seventeen pounds. One 

 fisherman caught three in one day, that weighed thirty-six pounds, 

 from the Kinnickinnic River in Pierce County. The Kinnickinnic 

 seems to furnish ideal conditions for this variety of fish and at 

 present probably contains more brown trout than any other 

 stream in the state. 



The demand for the brown trout for planting is constantly 

 on the increase, more especially for the streams in the southern 

 half of the state. Some people are of the opinion that the brook 

 trout is not doing as well in our southern streams as formerly and 

 are ordering brown trout to take their place. To meet the increased 

 demand, we have endeavored to increase our stock of breeders. 

 So far this season we have taken over 1,000,000 eggs, the most we 

 have ever taken in one season.
