Rainbow Egg-take in Progress Some of the largest brood rainbow trout in the west are now yielding eggs for the Game Commission's fish hatchery program. Running from 8 to about 18 pounds in weight, the big brood fish are expected to produce somewhere in the vicinity of 19 million young rainbows, most of which will find their way into Oregon's lakes and streams. Some eggs will be used as trading stock with other states to obtain cutthroat trout, kokanee, and other game fish. Brook rainbows now produc ing eggs are termed fall spawners, selectively bred for their size and early egg productiion. Rainbow trout normally spawn in the spring. Eggs from fall spawners will hatch easily by spring, thus permitting about three months' additional growth through the summer. About 3-H million youngsters will be held over until the following summer, at which time they will be stocked for the rod as 8 to 12 - inch rainbows. At Oak Springs on the Deschutes production has al ready exceeded 7 million eggs, with another H million yet to be taken. Production is just getting under way at Roaring River near Scio to the east of Lebanon, with an expected egg -take of 10 million. Brood rainbows at Roaring River are some of the largest in the state, some reaching 18 pounds. In January the egg-take is expected to get under way at the commission's Leaburg and Willamette hatcheries. About 2 million rainbow eggs will be taken at these two stations. Completed earlier this fall at a number of stations has been the take of eggs from spring and fall chinook, brook trout, brown trout, Dolly Varden, kokanee. and Atlantic salmon. The steel head egg-take will not begin until late February or early March. About 25 million fish of all species will be produced at Game Commission fish hatch eries during the coming year. Persons interested in viewing the egg-take or other phases of trout and salmon production are welcome to visit any of the Commission's 15 fish hatch eries. A leaflet on fish hatch eries giving locations and production schedules is avail able free upon request.
