Hatchery Operating

TROUT HATCHERY IN FULL SWING. –

                With more than 100,000 eggs of cut-throat trout in the incubating troughs of the Rod and Gun Club hatchery here and fish beginning to run freely into the traps at Munroe and Mineral lakes, the trout hatchery season, though somewhat late, is now in full swing.  The roads to the lakes are now passable to the hatchery car and regular visits are being made to the traps.  Within a few days according to the hatchery men, Percy Hill and E.T. Cooper, traps will shortly be laid down on Fish Lake as well as indications of a run of fish there so warrants.  All eggs brought in to date appear healthy, the hatchery men state.

            Some fishing for Kamloops trout will probably be undertaken this year at Premier lake, where an eyeing station has been established by E.L. Staples, and also at Horseshoe lake, provided a seine net is forwarded by the department of fisheries.  Application for the net was made some time ago.  The Horseshoe Lake eggs will be incubated here, but those taken at Premier will be handled on the ground as far as the eye stage at least.
