FOREST AND STREAM. 



[July 11, 1889. 



the evening were very good, and the only drawback to the day 

 was the rain, which kept all under cover during the afternoon. 

 The view from the island ia magnificent, and the island itself a 

 large one, with plenty of good locations for tents, besides the 

 house, which is very large. Cruisers will be welcomed, the flag 

 of any club being a passport to the hospitality of the camp.—

E. L. R., Smithville Flats, N. Y.— There is located four miles 

 from here a body of water, belonging to the State, that contains 

 somewhere near 100 acres. The pond was stocked fourteen years 

 ago with 15,000 or 20.000 salmon trout. It has always contained 

 pickerel, perch, suufish, bullheads, eels, pond shiners and pond 

 suckers or minniedabs. The pond is fed by springs, and the 

 drainage from a small section of country. The water is quite 

 clear: there are no swamps draining into it. Depth varies from 

 2 to 40ft. In the shallows are stumps, logf, pond lillies, numerous 

 grasses. In the deep water (which predominates) the bottom 

 seems to be free from logs, and is of a hard mud or gravelly char- 

 acter. 1. What kind of fish would you advise us to stock this 

 pond with? How would catfish do for one kind, and black bass for 

 another? 2. Can catfish be obtained at the State hatchery? 3. 

 What do you suppose has become of the 15,000 or 20,000 trout put 

 iu fourteen years ago? Theie has not been one caught that I know 

 of. 4. Would wild rice be apt to grow in the shallow water as an 

 attraction for wildfowl? 5. Are the game laws of Rockland and 

 Westchester counties in regard to exportation of game success- 

 ful in stopping market, hunting? (5. Where can I get a full copy 

 of their game laws? 7. Of the Oneida county law mentioned in 

 last week's paper is the extract, as published, complete? Ans. 1. 

 Stock with large-mouthed black bass, which would probably do 



best. 2. Yes, at Caledonia Hatchery. 3. Have escaped through 

 brooks or perished. 4. The wild rice will probably do well. 5. 

 The non-export game laws have done good when they have been 

 enforced. 6. Write to the county supervisors. 7. The law was 

 given in full, save for the enacting clause. 



Angler, Sing Sing, N. Y. — Is there, any law against catching 

 small striped bass with hook and line; if so, what is the limit as to 

 size? Ans. The law prohibits killing black bass or fresh-water 

 striped bass or salt-water striped bafs weighing less than one- 

 half pound, or less than 8in. in length from end of snout to end 

 of caudal fin. 



N. C. L., Salem, Mass.— How much is the muzzle of the gun 

 contracted to constitute a full-choke, and how much a modified 

 choke? Ans. From thirty-thousandths to forty-thousandths of 

 an inch for the full choke, and five-thousandths for the modified.
