THE HATCHERIES 



Adirondack Station 



The work at this station has been very successful during the 

 past year. We succeeded in collecting the usual number of brook 

 trout and lake trout eggs from the ponds on the hatchery preserve 

 with the exception of Bone pond, where there were very few trout 

 of spawning age. There were a nice lot of small fish which will 

 spawn another year. 



I would suggest that a protector be employed to watch Little 

 Clear, Green pond and Bone pond as the poachers get in there 

 and rob the lake both in summer and winter. 



The output of brook trout was not as large as usual for we 

 failed to get more than about one-half as many eggs from the 

 commercial hatcheries as heretofore. The fingerling trout this 

 year were unusually large as we had more room to feed them and 

 we kept them in the hatchery until later in the shipping season. 



The lake trout eggs that were shipped here from Caledonia 

 were fine and turned out a- nice lot of fry and fingerlings. 



There are large numbers of small whitefish in both Big and 

 Little Clear lakes, and with the right kind of protection we will 

 be able to get all our eggs from these lakes. — Reported by William
