MAKING TROUT STREAMS
MORE PRODUCTIVE
(By G. H. Nichols)
Many times I am askod by old set
tlers of north Holt, why we do not
have as good trout fishing as once
was enjoyed along the several trout
streams. In trying to answer the
question I want to cull attention to
the different conditions that exist
now compared to those bygone days.
I remember the first time 1 fished
a trout stream in Holt County. The
day was a hot One and not a breath
of air was there t o relieve as I
fought my way along the stream
through a tangle of weeds, brush and
over-hanging trees. There were but
few places where the sun could pene
trate the foliage and effect the tern

Wheeler & Woolsey, the comedy

“HALF SHOT AT SUNRISE”
It’s one of the most absurdly ridicul
ous, nonsensical mpsspots of assort
ed comedy that ever was cooked up
from celluloid. Two A. E. F. privates

they get away with it is the story,
embellished with some of the fun
niest lines and situations ever de
vised.
perature of the water. Thus it was
that 1 found trout hiding ready to
take fly or hopper even before the
lure hit the water.
Last summer I went over the same
part of that stream. It was as bare
as a drainage ditch. I tested the
water and found it above 80 degrees.
Of course there were no trout there,
although I found the springs flowing
with no less volume than back in the
days when trout were abundant.
There was just too much sunshine.
But let us not be discouraged and
say those good old trout fishing days
are gone forever, because the same
conditions were found in far eastern
trout brooks a few years ago, and
they have Been overcome and the
brooks Brought back to the old pro
ductive stage.
The work of reclaiming and re
stocking the trout streams of Holt
county is just as important as re
stocking our warm water lakes and
ponds with other game fish. It isn’t
so much a matter of providing
amusement for fishermen as the im
portance of an increased production
of fish food ut home. Holt county,
with at least 160 miles of trout wat
er, can be made to produce tons of
the finest fish food that ever swam.
The feed will be there in lavish
abundance and there are nursery
pond sites in unlimited numbers
where trout fry may be reared to
fingerling size. In time, if the
streams are again brought back to
their natural state, there is not the
least doubt but one or more hatcher
ies w'ill be built at the sites of some
ofthe large springs. Anyway there
will be a plentiful supply of fry so
that there will be no lack of finger
lings for waters that are fitted for
them. Where streams run through
pastured land sections may be fenced
and retards and dams made to pro
vide homes for the fish. Once stock
is kept away from a stream, vegeta
tion will spring up both in and along
the waters edge. Grasses and weeds
will grow and in time trees will again
shade the waters, reducing the tem
perature many degrees. The dams
and retards will cause deep holes to
form and brush and fallen trees be
come feeding places for fish. Shrimp
and other insect life multiply accord
ing to the amount of brush, rocks
and vegetation there are in streams.
Where there are weeds and brush,
hoppers, the best of feed for large
trout thut can be found, will soon
abound in numbers to be shaken into
the water and the mouths of hungry
trout when the wind is strong. Last
summer I counted fourteen hoppers
in the stomach of an eleven inch
nruuK iroui, caugni on meet ureea,
where weeds fringed the rtream. A
small trout caught on the Verdigri
Creek where it meandered through a
hare pasture hadn’t a thing in its
stomach except a few small shrimp
and one or two water beetles. Al
though it, was probably as old as the
one caught in Steel Creek, it did not
weigh one-half as much and was not
as well proportioned.
There are many ways to build re
tards without a great deal of labor
or expense. Trees anchored to
stumps or other trees with tops down
stream form excellent hiding and
feeding places. Logs placed across a
stream where there are banks on
each side make small waterfalls and
holes are washed beneath them. In
such holes trout hide away from
their natural enemies . Brush piles
wired to stumps or trees soon create
swirls that afford resting places for
young Hsh. Permanent dams may he
built by wiring the butts of small
trees to logs and burying the tops of
the trees in the bed of stream above.
The natural wash of sand and gravel
will in time imbed the trees more
firmly and prevent Hoods from re
moving them. Under the logs, holes
will be washed. Old woven wire fen
cing anchored to trees will in time
catch drift wood and trash and make
good homes for fish. Care should bo
taken in choosing places for retards
where there is no chance for the
stream to be forced out of its natur
al course.
On Steel and Verdigris creeks the
t,j«nnu\ rorestation and Parks tom
mission has built a number of re
tards and dams. These creeks were
chosen because of there being sever
al trout nursery ponds nearby from
which several thousand fingorling
trout were released into the creeks
last fall. It did not take the little
fellows long to find these new homes
and if one is found away from home
it will lose no time darting back to
the friendly cover if disturbed.
A number of ponds were built by
owners of large springs and trout
reared in them. This is good and I
hope more of them will be built. But
pond reared fish are not so solid as
stream reared ones and besides there
is not the sport connected with catch
ing them. Trout that are continually
fighting the current and hustling for!
food that must be taken on the wing i
so to speak, furnishes meat that'
chews well. Not tough, but firm
enough to bring the teeth into just
the right sort of action. While 1 do
like to sit down in a restful position
and catch fish with the old cane pole
and bobber tackle, the real thrill
comes from matching wits against a
wild and wily trout in its native wat
ers. The uncertainty whether he will
snag your line under a root or make
his get-away into a nearby brush pile
adds zest to the encounter. Most of
sportsmen want to give their prey a
fighting chance, that is why stream
fishing is great port.
Speaking of pond building for
trout reminds me that by using the
same energy and a small part of the
cost, fancy rod. of any trout stream
may he made as productive as a pond.
There is a fine brook running through
a pasture. Fence off a section of it.
Build retards and dams along the en
closed course. A nchor logs next to
each hank where the stream makes a
curve. Holes will wash behind the logs
and a trout home is made. Do this
and the fish will not have to he invit
ed to come. In due time there will
he tenants in every abode.

DRAINAGE MAKES WEATHER
FICKLE, CLAIMS PROPHET
With two bills before Congress
blaming floods and the disastrous ef
fect of droughts in America on over
drainage, a weather man has pre
sented further reasons for alarm over
the increasingly effective efforts of
the country to shed the rain from its
back as fast as it falls.
W. H. Alexander, senior meteor
ologist of the weather bureau at Col
umbus, Ohio, declared that the re
moval of standing water from the
fact of the land induces more fickle
weather and greater extremes in
temperature as well as a less health
ful atmosphere for both plant and
animal life.
“The life-giving quality of the at
mosphere as well as its degree* of
comfort is largely determined by the
amount of moisture in the air,” Mr.
Alexander said.
‘‘Bodies of water, both largo and
small, are the chief source of this
moisture, or humidity and may smallj
bodies serve the same purpo.* as a
large one. They become, in a very j
important way, just so many ‘oases'
in the atmosphere, and so help to
form conditions favorable to the de
velopment and sustenance of animal
and vegetable life.”
“The tendency of a body of water
is to render weather conditions
slightly more equable. The tempera
ture extremes, for example, are
never so great near the water as
[ over the land areas,” he pointed out.
The two bills before Congress
would seek to prevent floods and
droughts by establishing reservoirs,
lakes, ponds and farm terracing. By
| these means experts claim they could
hold back the water that falls in
rainy seasons, bring about a normal
flow of rivers and streams, prevent
the washing off of valuable farm soil,
avoid the parching of crops by re
storing sub-soil moisture, and other
wise re-establish artificially the na
tural conditions existing in this coun
try before the cutting away of for
ests and the drainage of lowlands.

We desire to appeal to the parents
to check over the six week’s report
card with your child.
Our teachers have spent many
long hours in preparing these cards
to show the right measurement of
students under their charge; please
do not, therefore, cast these cards
aside carelessly. The schedule for
th«' average student in high school
permits but two and n half hours of
school study for class preparation.
This is nut a sufficient time allot
ment, If your child is failing, you
should see to it that the child studies
at least two hours each day at home.
Work missed by absent students
must be satisfactorily made up. Some
students are nat making this adjust
ment and are therefore getting low
marks. It would he most expedient
if the parents would chits up this
work with their child, the teachers,
or the principal.
