Mr. Dean : Most of the original plants were made in this little 

 creek. We put them in both places this year ; but I prefer putting them 

 along the lake in the shallow water. At the time the grayling was 

 put out this shallow water was not very warm — probably 45° perhaps ; 

 and there is plenty of food all along this Georgetown Lake, — especially 

 the fresh water shrimp, which are thick in all the shallow water. The 

 land around the lake was originally flats and almost marshy. Now, 

 there are lots of places all around which are rather marshy. You can- 

 not get out to the clear water in some of the places around the shores 

 without boats. 



Mr. Cranston: Is there a central very deep part of this lake? 



Mr. Dean : Probably, it is about 30' to 40' deep at the dam. 



Mr. Cranston : Most of our natural lakes are extremely deep, and 

 the proportion of shallow waters around the edges is rather small ; 

 some are exceedingly deep and suitable for grayling. 



Mr. Dean: I think it is largely a question of food. If there is 

 food in the lake the grayling will do well. 



President : I want to add my testimony in regard to replanting 

 grayling. Mr. Nevin put grayling in the Brule River in Wisconsin. 

 where there was never any before. I was with Judge Robinson two 

 years ago and hooked a grayling, and I said, "My God, that is a 

 grayling!" Judge Robinson said. "No, there is not a grayling in this 

 river." But almost before the fish was landed I had another one. But 

 those were the only two we caught, and we fished several days. But I 

 know the Brule has got grayling there. They were planted by Mr. 

 Xevin and the eggs came from Montana.
