112 REPORT OF STATE BOARD OF PISH COMMISSIONERS. 



The northern boundary should be extended westward to the main 

 fork of Kern River. This would include all of Volcano Creek, the 



headwaters of Cottonw 1 Creek, and Smith Fork of the Kern, as well 



as all of Rock Creek and Whitney Creek. When the boundaries have 

 been thus extended, fishing within the limits of the reservation should 

 be absolutely prohibited for three years, after which it might be per- 

 mitted under certain restrictions. These restrictions should provide 

 a minimum size, limit the number that may be caught, and prohibit 

 all fishing during the spawning season. 



With such regulations as these, together with the fish-cultural opera- 

 tions suggested, it is believed the Golden trout will continue an 

 abundant fish and remain one of the great attractions of this inter- 

 esting- region.
