WELCOME BACK
Major HENZEL returned from the
mainland last Thursday with some
very good news about fish and
wildlife. While on his, trip, he
arranged with the state# o£ Alas
ka to have sent to Adak 12000fry
(young fish). The fry are Kam
loop Rainbow Trout which will be
brought to Adak the second week
of September by a state biologist
to be put in the hatchery. After
growing to fingerling size, this
time being approximately six 'to
eight weeks, the fry will be pla
ced in the most satisfactory la
kes and streams on Adak. There
will be a biologist up here the
last of September to survey the
waters and determine which of the
lakes are best suited.
The Kaml^op Rainbow Trout are
the large, heavy bellied t3rpe fish
•that are very common in Washington
Oregon and Idaho. If this opera
tion proves successful, there
should be some real fine fishing
by next year, and for the new-co
mers if they keep the program go
ing.
The district Game Management
Biologist is also sending a team
up here to look into the rabbit/
hare program and determJnS * how
soon in can be started/ Tfiey will
also be taking a head count of
the Caribou to determine if and
when a harvest can be expected.
These programs, if proven succes
sful, will not benefit the'pres
ent personnel but it will benefit
the ones in the next two or three
years. Let's hope that all of the
programs are successful.
