Heart Lake was beautiful Monday eve
29 August - the trout were biting sal
mon eggs, a soft breeze was blowing,
the water across the lake was like
glass save for occasional fish rising
for feed. You would have hardly thot
you wore on Adak - more like Chippewa
Flowage country in Wisconsin or Land-0
Lakes in Minnesota without trees of
course. What a pleasure to get away
from hatch crews, working parties, &
the like. You would think that there
would be a number of people taking ad
ventage of a day like that-but no
one did - and the trout are still in
the Lake...the weather has changed for
the worse and its cold.

'Speaking of fishing did yon know the
salmon pack in Alaska (canning) is over
50$ of the x^orld's production. That
salmon have been' known to jam a river
so full that the fish nearest the edges
were often crowded onto the banks. That
in the Yukon, Alaska the King Salmon
reaches a weight qf over 100 lbs. That
pacific salmon, when they reach fresh
water, their appetities grow less, their
throat-narrows and stomach.shrinks. A ...
salmon usually has 300 to 400 eggs per
pound weight of the parent.
There-are really fish in the lakes &
streams of Adak contrary to the belief
of certain of our ilewer residents. Mitt .
Lake, Heart Lake, Nurse's Creek, Lake ^
Andrew's have all been producing oflat^
Although no fish were planted this
last year Special Services has hopes of
making a planting next year. Meanwhile
there is evidence that the Rainbows are
spawning am although no large creels of
them have been reported I have seen spme
nice size Rainbows rise to the surface
like last Monday evening-when the lake
is calm and the air a bit warmer.

to his private spot on Nurses Creek aid.
they reported a nice catch, nothing too
spectacular- - tut a nice catch.
