for 1939 Is Begun
The 1939 fish distribution program of the state fish and game department has been started with a statewide planting of Loch Leven and eastern brook trout.
John W. Schofield, state superintendent of fisheries, said.
He said the first distribution would be followed by others during the summer until early next September.
After distribution of Loch Leven and brook trout, Montana's flashy rainbows, native trout and grayling will be liberated, he said.
The fish are "fingerlings," nurtured in state hatcheries, some of them "holdovers" from last year's supply.
Schofield, who returned from a statewide survey of hatcheries, said the outlook for the 1939 season was bright. He said the annual spawn take would probably be larger than that of last year, and that all of Montana's 10 spawn-taking stations were actively engaged.
