16 Report of the American 



TROUT CULTURE. 



Muncey Trout Ponds, February 4th, 1876. 



Gentlemen of the American Fish Culturisti Association : 



I received your postal to-day. I would like to be with 

 you at your meeting, but pressing business will keep me away. 

 I will however say, I am having first rate success in Trout 

 culture. My ponds number six in all, and are one half mile 

 in length. Most of the water is shaded by forest trees ; ponds 

 long and narrow, and from three inches to five feet in depth. 

 I have a large amount of Trout, and think I am not far behind 

 any one in raising Trout for the market. 



My best respects to you all. Yours Truly, 



A. B. SPROUT.
