With the idea of developing the
Missouri river into a fishing stream
which will soon rival the famous Mad
ison riser, that portion of the stream
t
between Great Falls and H
is
immediately to be stocked with about
900,000 Loch Leven fingerltegs now
in the Great Falls hatchery ready for
planting. There will be about 900 cans
of these ftecerltegs which bare been
in process of batching and developing
at the Great Falls hatchery since last
November. Arrangements were nude
Sunday by Gama Ward» C. A. Jack
ways with the foreman of the hatch
ery, A. G. Stubblefield, for tea plant
ing of tbeae finger lings at various
points along the river
tee
two towns.
Mr. Jackways states teat them fite
will be sufficiently developed tor
catching next year and that with the
Lote Leven end Rainbow treat already
in the river It Is Me belief that within
a very abort time the Missouri will
be one ef the beet fishing streams in
the state; It is the intention of the
fite and game commission to plant
many Rainbow fingerltegs in the Mis
souri later te the year.
This to the first season that the
state department has undertaken the
planting of Loch Laven fish, although!
some previous plantings bad been
made from
hatched at the gov
wrnment hatchery at Bodèman. The
eggs used in tee Great Palls hatchery
were received from the Madison river
last fall. j
la addition to these 900*000 LodS
Levte fingerings, about 460,060 which
-were hatched at the Emigrant station
will be planted In the Missouri below
Logan.
Traps for the taking of Rainbow
trout spawn will be installed at Lake
Francis, nearValier. very shortly for
the taking of spawn next May.
The removal of the Loch Levan fin
gerling* from .the. Great Falls hatch
will make * room for 1,0<K>,000
Steelhead Rainbow eggs, of which the
state department is receiving 4,000.000
from Oregon in exchange for Loch
Leven, and grayling eggs. A half
million of these eggs will also be sent
