﻿148 
  Sixteenth 
  Annual 
  Report 
  of 
  the 
  

  

  Caledonia 
  Hatchery 
  

   To 
  the 
  Forest, 
  Fish 
  and 
  Game 
  Commission: 
  

  

  The 
  work 
  at 
  this 
  station 
  has 
  been 
  carried 
  on 
  with 
  very 
  good 
  

   success. 
  We 
  have 
  filled 
  878 
  applications, 
  and 
  have 
  distributed 
  

   6,378,750 
  fish, 
  of 
  which 
  1,636,100 
  were 
  fingerlings 
  and 
  4,742,500 
  

   were 
  fry. 
  

  

  An 
  exhibit 
  of 
  150 
  adult 
  Brook, 
  Brown 
  and 
  Rainbow 
  Trout 
  and 
  

   40 
  Albino 
  Lake 
  trout 
  was 
  made 
  at 
  the 
  New 
  York 
  State 
  Fair 
  at 
  

   Syracuse 
  by 
  this 
  station 
  and 
  attracted 
  much 
  attention. 
  

  

  The 
  eggs 
  received 
  here 
  last 
  year 
  from 
  Owen 
  Sound 
  did 
  not 
  

   turn 
  out 
  a 
  very 
  large 
  percentage 
  of 
  fish. 
  The 
  weather 
  being 
  rough 
  

   at 
  Stony 
  Island 
  we 
  did 
  not 
  get 
  very 
  good 
  results 
  from 
  there, 
  but 
  

   hope 
  to 
  do 
  better 
  this 
  year. 
  We 
  had 
  three 
  men 
  at 
  Dunkirk 
  last 
  

   year 
  gathering 
  Herring 
  eggs, 
  but 
  the 
  weather 
  was 
  bad 
  and 
  the 
  

   fishermen 
  lost 
  all 
  of 
  their 
  nets 
  so 
  we 
  got 
  but 
  very 
  few 
  eggs. 
  We 
  

   expect 
  to 
  go 
  to 
  Erie, 
  Pa., 
  this 
  year 
  and 
  hope 
  to 
  have 
  better 
  success 
  

   getting 
  Herring 
  eggs 
  there. 
  

  

  There 
  has 
  been 
  but 
  very 
  little 
  repairing 
  done 
  around 
  the 
  Hatch- 
  

   ery 
  this 
  year. 
  We 
  built 
  two 
  scows, 
  and 
  have 
  been 
  cleaning 
  part 
  

   of 
  the 
  creek 
  and 
  this 
  work 
  should 
  be 
  continued 
  until 
  it 
  is 
  in 
  good 
  

   condition. 
  The 
  plank 
  retaining 
  wall 
  at 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  the 
  creek 
  is 
  

   much 
  decayed 
  and 
  should 
  be 
  replaced 
  by 
  a 
  concrete 
  wall. 
  Some 
  

   of 
  the 
  ponds 
  and 
  feeders 
  to 
  the 
  hatchery 
  are 
  in 
  bad 
  condition 
  and 
  

   should 
  be 
  rebuilt. 
  We 
  did 
  some 
  grading 
  about 
  the 
  hatchery 
  with 
  

   the 
  dirt 
  that 
  came 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  creek. 
  We 
  have 
  partly 
  filled 
  an 
  old 
  

   pond 
  near 
  the 
  ice 
  house 
  with 
  some 
  stone 
  and 
  dirt 
  that 
  came 
  from 
  

   the 
  new 
  State 
  road 
  improvement. 
  The 
  Guthrie 
  Hatchery 
  has 
  been 
  

   fitted 
  with 
  new 
  troughs, 
  and 
  is 
  in 
  good 
  condition 
  now.
