NORTH CREEK EGG-COLLECTING STATION AND HATCHERY 



Owning to low water in North Creek and general low water in Bear 

 Lake tributaries, it was not necessary to operate this station during the 

 last two seasons. We have planned to have the station repaired and 

 put in order so that when conditions are more favorable the station can

 some were distributed in the tributaries of the San Gabriel; 160,000 

 were held until March 5, 1930, when they were placed in the New 

 Rincon Pond system where they were held for a short time until the 

 water was shut off by the damage to the diverting dam caused by heavy 

 blasting, and all but 1900 fi.sh were released into the river. 



SNOW CREEK HATCHERY 



The Snow Creek Hatchery was completed in May of this year and 

 400,000 Rainbow trout placed in this station are showing a very good
