ANNUAL REPORT, 1942-i3 21 



CLOSED WATERS 



Establishing closed water areas is one of the practical methods employed in maintaining 

 and improving the fishing in our lakes and streams. The closed area acts as a source of 

 supply for replenishing the immediately adjacent open area with the natural increase provided 

 year after year. If closure is continuous the area becomes a sanctuary of very great practical 

 value.

 1943, to supplement those already closed :
