Angling. 



The fee for non-resident Angling permits was iricreased from $2.00 to .$5.00 

 during the year, and from this source a substantial increase in revenue lias been 

 ol)tained, while tlio reports received from ahnost ever}' district show that game 

 fish arc still plentiful and furnishes ample sport to both resident and non-resident 

 alike. 



Hatcheries. 



A large and modern Hatcheiy was built and equipped by the Department 

 during the year at Saiilt Ste. Marie, and all necessary arrangements made to fill 

 it to capacity with whitefish, salmon trout and speckled trout spawn to be hatched 

 and delivered during the coming season. A Hatchery at this point will fill a long- 

 felt need of the district, as it is in the centre of very valuable connnercial fisheries 

 and also very accessible to many waters that abound in game fish, but which would 

 soon become depleted without the assistance of artificial propagation. 1'he lo("i- 

 tion of this hatchery also renders the collection of commercial and game fish si)avvn 

 possible with a reasonable amount of energy and expense. 



A detailed report of the output of the various provincial hatcheries will be 

 shown elsewhere in this repoi't, and the summary as compared with the previous 

 year can be considered satisfactory, which is as follows: — 



Whitefish Fry 



Pickerel " 



Lake Trout " 



Herring " 



Speckled Trout Fingerlings and Fry 

 Black Bass Fingerlings " 

 Parent Bass 



T\w. domaiid for fry and fingerlings is greal(M- than the present available supply, 

 and the l)(^partment should extend this work as far as any reasonable expenditure 

 will permit. 



The total fry (lisli-il)uied yearly since 1912 is as follows: — 



1912 150,000 1917 2,1,56,928 



1913 173,815 1918 58,356,631
