Major H. W. HENZEL & family depart
ed on leave for Anchorage, Alaska
on 17 August 1961. His reasons for
going were two fold. His first of
course to show his family more of '
the interesting parts of Alaska.
Kj.s second was to obtain some "fish
fry (young fish) particularly cf the
Rainbow Trout, and Salmon family.
These fry will be placed in the fish
hatchery on Adak’ for- about a y|<?.r
until obey are byond; the fingeS7ling
stage, at which time they wllJn be
stocked in the various lakes and
streams around the Island of Adak.
It is hoped chat the Salmon fry will
survive to become land-locked ^al
mon in Lake Andrews and otherlakes

Everyone here is hoping that the
experiment is a successful one, if
things go as planned we will be en
joying some real fine fishing in
the not too distant future.
