 the next spawning season the screens may be taken up and 

 mature fish allowed free access to the redds. Some are sure 

 to put in an appearance, and this will encourage them to the 

 proper position in which they are intended to help on. your 

 operations for another year. Just before spawning time run 

 plenty of water over the redds, and in other watys 1 get them 

 into good order. If no spate has occurred, you can easily 

 arrange for one after a simple manner, aind this also should 

 be done. 



I have emphasisied the importance of being able to cope with 

 floods. I would, in concluding my remarks on natural and 

 artificial redds, dra.w particular attention to the folly of 

 forming them where the stream is at all likely to dry up. 

 Such folly spells disaster.
