30 Third Annual Report of the 



Additional Protection 



Of the orders granted by this Commission, for additional pro- 

 tection to fish and game, under Section 152 of the Conservation 

 Law, the most important have had to do with lake trout. Without 

 the concurrence or knowledge of this Commission the final print 

 of the Sanner Bill was so amended, in the Assembly, last winter, 

 as to extend the season for taking lake trout to December 31 — the 

 previous closing date having been September 30. The Commis- 

 sion has entertained petitions and shortened the lake trout season 

 in two groups of counties, taking in the Finger lakes, and the 

 Adirondack lakes. We urge the Legislature to restore a proper 

 season for lake trout throughout the State, and shall submit pro- 

 posed legislation covering this and certain other details at an early 

 stage of the coming session. 



The following additional protection orders are now (December, 

 1913) in full force and effect, under section 152, and during the 

 periods stated and in the localities named all taking is prohibited 

 as to the species named:
