Simple Hatchery for Trout 

 TROUT BREEDING 



Many trout anglers have private waters, either 

 a stream or pond (big or little), where they can 

 invite a few friends now and then to share their 

 sport, so that at times they deplete their water of 

 fish more than they desire. Some know, but the 

 majority don't, that trout breeding can be carried 

 on by them at a very moderate expenditure of 

 time, trouble, and money. 



When trout eggs are within a week or so of 

 hatching they are called eyed ova, the eyes of the 

 embryo fish being distinctly visible through the 

 shell of the egg. Eyed ova are supplied by all the 

 fish culturists and by the following,
