proved it a place for breeding this
fish, because the few I placed in it
multiplied by the thousand while
fish placed at the same time in the
clear waters at the hatchery, did not
produce a single young one.
So, it is suggested that the best
all round fish for our lakes and
ponds is the crappie, white or black. |
If the water is deep, this species i
will do well. For only the beams of ।
light are deleterious to them and if
the water is deep enough to prevent 1
the glaring penetration ( f the bams '
of light, the fish will not suffer
from them.

which can be placed in such water

The trouble is. that whe nit is in
shallow water, say four or five fet
deep, is becomes matted through the
whole body of water and makes ant-
kind of fishing difficult. Hence it is
that inquiries are constantly made
as to the best way to get rid of it
Sulphite of copper placed in an or
dinary gunny sack and dragged
through it will kill it. But it will
kill fish also, but in most part only
the surface feeders like bass and
other perch species.
Cat and the deep-water feeders
are immune from its effects. If such
grass will not grow in the waters—
which they will always do. provided
there is lime in such water—then
the only way bass can be prevented
from self destruction is to run
chicken wire through the waters
Col Bill Sterett, former State Fish
and Game Commissioner, in a recent
letter to the Mayor of Abilene has
the following to say with regard to
the several species of game fish most
popular in Texas. This is in re-
the weak and young ones can hide
from the old and strong ones. For
as each individual of a brood of what
is called “f ngerlings" gets weaker
than his brother or fails to grow a*
does his brother because of lack of
food or other cause, he is destroy-
ed by that brother f r food. The
“survival of the fittest" has its great-
est i"lustration in the case of the
bass family.
So it is that without knowing any-
thing about the size of the proposed
reservoir at Abilene or of the char-
acter of the soil on which the water
is to be collected, and as I can not
make a guess as to the vegetation
which will come when the lake is es-
tablished, I could not advise as to
the kinds of fish that should be
placed in the waters, as long as game
fish and not "polly-wogs and mud
turtles” are desired. But considering
that this body of water is to be a
of the state; the corpple, or crap-
pie, called "white perch" as a gen-
rarities, generally called bream by
the average fisherman. Of course
it is not intended to omit our cat
fish, of which we have several va-
rieties, but they are not counted
game fish, though they are univer-
sally popular, by which I mean that
all their kind are edible, and by some
people are esteemed as good as the
bass or croppie.
We have the big-mouth bass, or
as the ichthyologists call it, the
"green bass," and the small-mouth
bass. But the prevalent species is
the big-mouth bass. It is a lake
ly reduce their numbers in a few
hours of confinement. And it may
be said that the big-mouth variety is
but little less voracious. For I have
seen dozens of small ones choked
and dead by swallowing their fel-
lows when confined with them for’
twenty minutes.
Small Lakes Won’t Do.
It is to be seen from these state-
ments the difficulties that some with
the distribution of the small fry of
this species. And in seeing it, the
importance of the sizes of ponds and
lakes into which bass are to be palced
becomes apparent. For with the
voracious character of the species, it I
is nonsensical to place it in a small
body of water, or even in a body of
water. say, of ten or less acres, un-
less it has plenty of what is calle’
moss or other vegetation in which
protection for the young. The bass
are cannibals, though the old bass-
will not eat their young when in
charge of them.
White Perch Best.
The best fish for our waters, in
my opinion, is the croppie. It is
less pieiverous than any of our game
fish, though it is distinctly a game
fish. We call this species the “white
perch,” “callico bass” and other
names. There arc two kinds of them,
the “white crappie" or “croppie,"
They are very prolific and grow fast |
when plenty of food is accessible to
them. The government announces
that they are more insect eaters than
fish eaters. This fact is at odds with
their general habits, as generally
obstrved. For they do not rise to
the fly as does the baas and in all
my experience as fisherman, I never
caught one with a fly. Other people
have done so, however, and the
1 statement that the most of their
food consists of insect life may be |
is fed by the Medina river, in whic
this species abounded, and, besides,
the depth of the lake keeps the water
cool. But the best fish of this species
for the lakes throughout the state,
is the big-mouth or “green bass”
kind. The bass is the most voracious
and piscivorous fish of the game
species. The grinnel, which is not
edible, and the gar, which is the same
way. may be as destructive to all
water life as the bass, but there are
no game fish as destructive as the

monly called, the larvae are some ex-
tent protected till it begins to under-
go its metamorphosis or emergence
