Streams, Lakes Supplied
By Kodiak Hatchery
Juneau—future action a
plenty for Alaska sport fisher
men is building itself u) in 20
Westward lakes and streams
where 1,787.000 young rain
bow trout were planted last]
week in the highest fish propa
gation effort ever undertaken
in the Territory.
The trout, averaging only IT
inches in length when planted,
were hatched out in a new
hatchery in Kodiak from rain
bow eggs flown there from
Karluk Lake. The Navy, the
Air Force, the Kodiak Con
servation Club and many in
dividuals cooperated with the
Fish '"and Wildlife Service in
the mass movement of trout
fry.
Stocking included 1,250,000
j fish in the K< diak a-ea. 200,00ft
i n Lake L use, an Army!
j recreation aiea in the upper]
. Susitna country, and 337,000
jin the Anchorage a-ea. !
• Lakes in the vicinity of
J Anchorage planted with young
•rainbow include Finger Lake,
jTalkeetna Lake, Sundi Lake,
West Big Lake, the Meadow
(Lakes and Willow Creek Lake.
The young fish when planted
had never been fed. They are
picking up the feeding habits
. which it is hoped will bring
'more than a million thrills to
Alaska anglers in their new
homes.
The hatchery at Kodiak was
established mainly as the re
sult of an acute interest on
j the part of Admiral John
I Perry, commandant of the
j 17th Naval District. The Ad
i miral, transfered back to Ko
] diak two years ago after an
! absence extending from the
j early days of World War II,
I was appalled at the manner in
] which waters formerly teem
ing with sport fish had been
depleted.
Admiral Perry, feeling the
Navy had a responsibility to
restore fish where naval per
sonnel had caught them, be
i £an pushing for a hatchery.
The Fish and Wildlife Service
agreed to provide technical as
sistance and the program got
underway.
A Kodiak Conservation
(Club, whose members are for
I the most part service and cf
{vilian personnel from the na
val base, operates the hat
chery.
in iuture years it is hoped
rainbow trout from Kodiak
may be flown to waters in
other parts of the Territory.
Two lakes in the Juneau area,
one near Petersburg and one
near Ketchikan will be planted
with rainbows if plans ma
terialize.
Others active in “Operation
Rainbow’' include Roger Allin,
fishery management biologist
at Anchorage, and Mark
Myers, in charge of the FWS
stream clearance program.
Myers was pressed into ser
vice because he was formerly
a hatchery man in the State of
Washington.
