BEGINS; EGG TAKING IS
Run Up Seven Mile Creek Noticed Game Warden to
Transfer Eggs to Klamath HatcheryWork
on Wood ' River Also Progressing '
Seeking: cold, clear, running water and a gravel bot
tom, the vanguard of the annual run of spawning trout
up Seven Mile creek has put in its appearance and today
Flonnlw flnmo WnrHpn Jnrl Short,
egg taking operations on the northern Klamath! basin
stream commenced. .
Eggs from the "spawners" will be taken from Seven
Mile creek to the Klamath hatchery, where they will be
artifically hatched and after being fed for several months
will be released in Klamath streams. -
During the past week Percy Southwick. superintend-
3nt of the Klamath hatchery
keeping close watch on Seven Mile Creek in order to
start taking eggs at the earliest possible time. Yesterday
Mr. Southwick drove to Seven Mile creek and saw suf
ficient evidence of the trout run to justify starting in
taking eggs.
Last year two minion egga wo
taken from spawners running up
Seven Xfllo creek. ' 'Indicitlons point
to as successful egg taking this year
as l.ust. The run will last until tho
curly part of June.
Tho habit of trout to return ta tho
stroaim whero they wore hatched or
relented when flngorlings, has boon
liken advantage of by the hatchery
superintendent. It Is tho policy In
releasing artificially hatched trout
to plant them in tho stream from
which thoy were taken, thus insur
ing their return when spawning sea
son rolls around, toy following this
policy tho gnmo officials can be as
sured of a heavy run of spawners
each year In tho streams where they
follow thla pplicy, and can count on
several million eggs during the tun
from each stream.
Seven Milo creek finds Its source
high up .lu, the Cascades, northwest
of Fort Klamath and winds Its placid
way , through' the Fort Klamath
meadows 'to its' mouth at Agency
