(International) Official Explains Work At Diamond Lake Kpnnrth Pnrhrnn firlH appnt and biologist for the Oregon Game commission. Klamath dis trict, spoke at the Jackson Coun ty Chamber of Commerce Round table' luncheon yesterday noon at the Jackson hotel on fishery development and planning of Diamond lake. Cochrun said Diamond lake was formerly known as an abundant fishery for rainbow trout. However, Cochrun added, about 10 years ago anglers be gan introducing roaches into the lake thinking they would in crease the food supply there. Lak. Saturated In 1946 game commission of ficials first noticed a high num ber of roaches in the lake. By 1953 the lake was completely saturated with them. For a snort time, he explain ed, fish feeding on the roaches controlled them. But soon the roaches were reproducing at such high numbers that the trout could no longer eliminate them. Reproduction capacity for a roach at spawning season is about two and a half million eggs, according to Cochrun. whil a trout reproduces about 15.000 eggs during spawning. Food Index Reduced Before the roaches became dominant in the lake. Cochrun stated, the index of "bottom food" in the lake was about 296 pounds per acre. In 1954. roach es had reduced the index to only 2.2 pounds per acre. Normal height for aquatic growth at the bottom of the lake was about 14 feet, but hy 1955 was reduced to four inches be cause of the increasing number of roaches. At this time, accord ing to the biologist. Diamond lake was becoming sterile. Cochrun stated that in the fall of 1954 the game commission applied a chemical to thn ' ke called rotcnone. eradicatir n trmit and roaches. The entire eradication project entailed digging canals, apply ing the chemical, and employing additional personnel which cost a total of about $135,000. In the following year. 1955. the game commission stocked Diamond lake with pure strain ed Kamloops rainbow trout, from Kamloops lake in Canada. They were yearling fish aver aging about five inches in length. The Kamloops rainbows taken from the Canada lake are used here, Cochrun said, because they are wild fish and have a better chance of surviving. Bad Winter Because of a bad winter, the fishery samples showed a poor recovery. But samples taken three months later, the field agent pointed out. revealed that the Kamloops rainbows had grown an additional five inches. Another sample, taken in No vember. 1955. showed the trout had grown to 11 inches in length. Food samples showed that the index of "bottom food" had increased to 90 pounds per acre. Last year in August. Cochrun said the game commission plant ed about 3.800.000 "fry" rain bows in the lake. According to fishery samples last spring the Kamloops had grown to about 10-12 inches. During the summer the Kamloops grew another four inches at the rate of an inch a month. Most Kamloops are now in the 16-18 inch group and "fry" rainbows are about 8V4 inches long. Cochrun pointed out that anglers at Diamond lake have been fishing all summer on about 1.460.000 trout. He added that the average catch has been about one fish per angler. Next year the "fry" trout will be ready for fishing. Cochrun said he expects that fishing will be twice as good next year at Diamond lake. Commission Plants "Frys" This August, according to Cochrun, the game commission planted about 5,000.000 "fry" trout of three - inch average length in the lake. By next Octo ber they will be four inches, he said. The game commission will add about 5.000,000 "frys" every August until bottom samples be gin to drop and trout show less growth. The biologist said they will try to keep average length of trout at 14-16 inches. Cochrun stated that this sea son there were only two or three cases where anglers had misused the lake. Penalty for applying roaches into the lake is a $25 to $500 fine or six months in jail. He added that anglers are becoming educated to the abuses of roaches. Bob Fox. manager of Diamond lake, told the roundtable that a rebuilding program is in prog ress at the lake. He said about 55 cabins are being erected. Police to Question Mrs. Eleanor Ruotolo Hamden, Conn. (U.R) Police were expected today to again question Mrs. Eleanor Ruotolo about her movements on the aft ernoon her 6-weeks-old daugh ter Cynthia was kidnaped. Authorities also were expect ed to question a neighbor, Mrs. Paul Rebucci. who was with Mrs. Ruotolo in the Sears Roe buck store Sept. 1 when the in fant disappeared from her car riage. The baby's body was found floating in Lake Whitney last Saturday, wrapped in a plastic potato sack. State's Attorney Abraham S. Ullman said Monday police had pinpointed the spot where the child's body was thrown in the lake. Ullman said Mrs. Ruotolo evi dently had passed the spot where her baby's body was later dumped on her way to the store He said" that "of necessity" she and Mrs. Rebucci would have to be questioned further. "DO-IT-YOURSELF" FAN Frank A. Tomaini was charged with larceny for rifling parking meters. Tomaini said he picked up his knowledge of picking locks from "do-it-yourself" magazines.
