When they spawn in the lake they go in the timber and before the eggs hatch the water has gone down--and- the eggs dry up in the sun and consequently there are no fish. The lunge spawns and goes back to deep water. The bass spawns and guards it to a size large enough to protect itself and if they don't leave when the mother thinks they should she scares them away. This bass spawning takes place in shallow water among the weeds. The sun fish, known as the Blue Gills, does the same. Bass spawning takes place when the water is at its normal height and they are still on their beds in the middle of June. The Lunge does not watch its spawn and consequently a large amount must be eaten up by small fish, if in water where it don't dry up. So our lunge supply is very small and as yet they have not found a successful way to get this fry or eggs to live in hatcheries, therefore we can't expect to get any from the 'Government hatcheries; leaving the Nonquon for our largest and surest supply of Lunge. In the past many people thought 'the bass stock we were catching came chiefly from the young fry that was put in the lake in front of Pettitt's Point, in the deep water in-the centre of the lake, and what was put out between Washburn's Island and Caesarea, along with the Pickerel. Well, no pickerel has shown up be- cause the young fry was rounded up 'and' eaten by small fish before they could get to shore to hide among the weeds. There is another cause and When pickerel come from Government hatcheries in cans, small fry about 36 hours old, they send a man with them to keep ice on them, but that is not all, if the train happehs to stop the cans HH, to be a | alive, as running water does.' | changing trains, or an any stops, he The article some pickerel in the creek, Now I do not believe that there is a pickerel in the lake, if so I would like to know who has seen one Mr. Tom Beare put large mouth bass in his pond at Utica about thirty five years ago and I am under the im- pression that the only supply of young bass in that time has come from this pond, except what supply of old bass we had in the lake. The Nonquon and the pond at Utica are and has been the chief supply of bass in thirty-five years. Are we going to stand for our supply of bass to be shut off by a muskrat fence made of heavy net wire, one inch mesh, across the creek in two places. The bottom of the netting is spread out like an apron and stone put on it, so rats could not dig under it. The young bass which I have seen or most of them could not pass through this net. I might state that pickerel spawn before bass, therefore we do not get bass the same time as pickerel. Pick- erel must be disposed of as soon as | possible, because when confined in a small place such as a can, they eat one another up. That is why they are disposed of so young and why I divided them in"so many plaeés as well taking more chances of them living. The pickerel come to a size of about three feet long and are a good eating fish. We have so many suckers in the lake that they can't all find a creek to go up to spawn and they choose the sandy shoals such as are found at Caesarea, chiefly about this date-- 24th May. The mudecats or cat fish bull heads, as they are known, flock there and devout the spawn at this 'date. Then you can barely see bot- tom for cat fish and the Caesarea fishermen are taking them out by the thousand. Keep up the good work boys, and don't forget that we can have pickerel and bass in our waters if the creeks are kept open, and young fry put in them well up stream on sandy bottom in a slow current of water. Den't forget that we are very low on small mouth bass, known as the Black Bass, so low that I have only seen one in two years, and it was returned to the water having had a bad looking sear on his side. AX many carp as possible should be done away with as they stir up the water so badly that lunge and bass can not find food and have to move to clear waters. This happened about thrée or four years ago in Caesarea waters. This is about the time when carp go in the timber and there are no lunge in there yet. There may be some bass, However, one can tell carp from bass and the Government should appoint a man or men to g» and keep them weeded down. It ean be done with a gun or a spear, chiefly by night with a light, but ¢fin be done in day time in many places. Don't think for a minute that there are only a few in the lake, I have seen so many that I have given up hopes of de- troying them. Ed.
