was increased to 4,085 in 1931. By such means also 2,062 yearling and adult 

 small-mouthed black bass were distributed in 1930 and this was increased to 

 5,630* in 1931. 



Successful operations for the harvesting of large-mouthed black bass were 

 carried out on Wiltse creek, Lansdowne and -Leeds townships in Leeds county, 

 another water used for this purpose for the first time; it yielded 330 fingerlings 

 and 3,943 yearlings and adults. This is another excellent water for harvesting 

 operations. 



In addition to the waters in which actual operations were carried out, the 

 following were tested as possible sites for future use: Smudge lake, near Uphill, 



A maskinonge-pike-large-mouthed black bass environment. 



Victoria county; Salmon lake, Cavendish township, Peterborough county; 

 Pigeon lake, near Minden, Haliburton county; Jumping Caribou lake, Olive 

 and Law townships, Nipissing district. All are impracticable sites with the 

 exception of Salmon lake, which offers some possibilities.
