88 Tliirty-Firsi AnuiKil Meeting 



Coulter that tlie brook trout have destroyed them; I think otht'r 

 elements hav(> conspired to destroy them. 



Mr. Coulter : I did not sa}' that at all. 



]\Ir. Brewster: Take the Manistee river up alcove the log 

 chutes, the scene of the operations of the lumbermen, and \o\\ 

 still find gra^ding and sometimes pretty good fishing. I know of 

 a party of three wlio caught over 100 grayling there last year. 

 Last year at my request Mr. Clark delivered half a dozen gray- 

 ling to a friend of mine in Potoskey. Those grayling have been 

 kept and are there now. I think he lost one out of a half dozen; 

 they are being kept in water pum^^ed from the l^ay. They are 

 doing splendidly and growing nicely, and I Ijelieve that water up 

 there is good for the o-ravlinff.
