Snow Finally
At the time this column was
written last week it was
reported that Boardman had no
snow, but that was all changed
the same night when about five
inches fell Monday and Tues
day. The weather has warmed
up with the temperature in the
high thirties, but it is still slick
to drive, and there are still
several inches of snow on the
ground. Night time tempera
tures have been warmer the
past few nights.

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.
