Myers, September 11, 194 0. Some eastern brook trout, following pursuit and capture of the helpless and affected small chubs in the marginal zone, were them- selves overcome within the first hour and necessitated fish rescue some- what in advance of schedule. Trollers of chemical soon afterward reported trout appearing at widely separated points over the lake, and rescue of trout with dip nets fnmi power boats and frmu shore rapidly got underway. ]\Iany trout Avere rescued by laymen viewing the project along shore and some trout were lost when they were crowded in rescue containers. With the exception of a few, most of the trout rescued were taken in aerated trucks to troughs set aside in Fern Creek Hatchery in which cold, abundantly aerated water soon checked the action of the chemical on the gills. Following their complete recov- ery, which occurred after several hours, the trout were placed in an exhibition pool at the hatchery for observation. Of a total of 2o4 trout observed or rescued from CtuH Lake, ten were Loch Leven, the remain- der being eastern brook. Seventy-eight trout survived to be replanted lower down in the drainage in Silver Lake.
