FINGERLING TROUT FOR OUR STREAMS. 



When the Fish and Game Commission was established 

 in 1911, a careful investigation was made toward securing as 

 many trout eggs as possible to hatch and liberate in various 

 waters of the state. The native species of trout are the 

 rainbow or steelhead, the cutthroat or blackspotted and 

 the Dolly Varden. The Dolly Varden trout has not been 

 propagated in this state on account of its voracious appetite 

 for other fish. 



The rainbow trout or "red-side" as it is known in the 

 McKenzie and Deschutes Rivers, is by far the best fish in the 

 state from the sportsman's standpoint, and upon this fish the 

 Commission is spending its greatest effort to secure fry and 

 stock the various streams of the state. 



The Steelhead and the Rainbow. 



There has always been a question in' the minds of some 

 of the sportsmen as to the relative value of the eggs of the 



Pagr© six
