It rises in the Cedar Lakes, near the middle of Hamilton County, and flows 
northeast. Within a mile or two of its source, the West Canada Creek 
rises and flows off southwest to the Mohawk, and the south branch of 
Moose River, another tributary of the Mohawk, via Black River, rises 
within a mile and a half of the Cedar. In 1885 I made a plant of 59,900 
salmon in the Cedar, where the stage road from North River to Blue 
Mountain Lake crosses it, just beyond the village of Indian Lake. 
There was no logging on the stream that year, and the fish could have a 
run of a dozen or more miles up the river. 
Glendon Broolc flows into the Hudson about 5 miles above Glens Falls 
and is an excellent stream for salmon. I have already recommended 
this stream, and at a meeting of the American Fisheries Society, in 
Washington, have shown young salmon from it which were caught and 
sent by Mr. A. N. Cheney, who, I think, also sent some to Mr. E. G. 
Blackford. It is a good trout stream, and is protected by its owners 
against public fishing. On the 23d of August, i888, in company with 
Mr. Cheney, I visited the brook and we fished it for about half a mile. 
In an open spot we took a few chubs and a few little trout, which we re- 
turned to the water. Following down the stream, through a dense 
growth of alders, we found a pool in which was a school of perhaps 
twenty fish, which Mr. Cheney said were salmon, and on casting his fly 
in it he took one, which proved to be a salmon of 7 inches in length. In 
another pool he took a second one, and by letting my fly drift down un- 
der the brush, leaving the rod back on the ground and holding the line 
in my hand, I brought one up where I could identify it before it broke 
loose. Mr. Cheney’s fish were both returned to the stream. We then 
stopped. I had seen enough to assure me that the fish were there in 
numbers. 
Clendon Brook has received the following plants : 
1884 41,000 
1885 .. *59, 700 
1886 ..... 19,700 
1888 50,000 
Total ........... *170,400 
I can strongly recommend this brook for future plantings. It not only 
is a good stream for rearing the fry in, but is below several of the falls, 
especially the great one at Jessup’s Landing, which is a formidable one 
for a fish to go over, but which is dry in summer, owing to the water 
being used in the great paper mill at that place. (See account of 
Palmer’s Falls, under the head of u Dams and obstructions.”) 
When I began the work, Professor Baird left the selection of streams 
to me, as I had a slight knowledge of the Adirondack region, but some 
of the brooks I did not know and depended on the opinions of the 
natives, judging that if they were good trout brooks they would do for 
\ And 150 yearlings.
