■r SIX MANY YOUNG PIKE PLACED IN LAKES State Game and Fish Commis sion Furnishes Large Quan tity of Young Fish. In order to keep Itasca county’s lakes and streams well supplied with game fish, it becomes necessary to restock them each year. The variety of fish which is most generally used for restocking purposes in this coun ty is the pike-perch ordinarily called wall-eyed pike. At this time of the year, the newly hatched pike are be ing received from the State hatch eries and distributed to the lakes where they will best succeed and for which applications has been made. Nearly a carload of the wall-eyed pike spawn was distributed to the different lakes of Itasca county. Practically all the pike spawn dis tributed in Itasca county are hatched at the Bemidji hatchery which was established a few years ago. A few days ago 40 cans were put in lakes near Grand Rapids, and as approximately 2,000 fish are estimated to each can, the quantity of young fish released is easily figured. Twenty seven cans of this shipment were put in Pokegama lake, the balance in Hale, McKinney and Ice lakes near Grand Rapids. Fifteen cans of the young fish were put in Jessie Lake and ten cans in North Star lake near Marcell. Five cans of fish were placed in lakes near Marble, five near Nash wauk and two near Blackberry. Other applications are being filled in the order in which they reach the state fish commission. Caring for the fish from the time they leave the hatchery nutil they are distributed is a task. The whole pi'o cess of gathering the eggs, hatching them and distributing the young fish to the lakes where they are to deve lop is extremely interesting. The sOult fish are netted under the direc tion of the state game and fish com mission and the eggs taken without injuring the fish which are afterward released. The fertilized eggs are shipped to the hatcheries where they are placed in shallow trays of run ning water of the right temperature. As soon as the young fish hatch, they must be shipped immediately as they will begin to eat each other within 48 hours. Placed in ordinary cream cans, the fish are kept from smother ing by an attendant who keeps dip ping up the water and pouring it back into the cans to aerate it an freshen it. The fish when released in the lakes where they are to develop, scat ter widely and seek their natural food. Statistics gathered by the game and fish commission after a careful study indicate that approxi mately 90 per cent of the eggs taken by the hatchery develop into young fish to be released and take their chances for development. When the eggs are deposited in the natural way on the sand bars and shallows of the lakes, it is estimated that less than 10 per cent survive as young fish. The continued reputation of any section as a fishing resort depends upon re stocking its waters each year. This policy as carried out in Itasca coun ty results in the pike fishing being practically as good now as it was when the country was first developed. o- o o o—o CRAIGVILLE o o o Joe Peloquin, Sr., sold two cars of cedar ties to Janies Reid of Bigfork.
