RATE OF GROWTH While growth of trout in High Sierra lakes is said to be generally slow by reason of short growing seasons, poor food, and cold water, the (lata submitted in table 1, for golden trout planted in Bright Dot and Bighorn lakes, shows in these fish surprising growth. For instance, the fish planted in Bright Dot Lake increased about 7 times in length in about months after planting. In slightly more than a year, fish planted in Bighorn Lake increased over 4 times in length. In Bi-ight Dot Lake the fish ranged from approximately 5^ inches to over lOJ inches. FLsh up to a half pound were taken in Bright Dot though the average weight attained was about one-quarter pound. The Big- horn fish averaged about .') inches long and weighed about one ounce. As shown in table 1, fish caught in Bright Dot Lake on Septem- ber 10, 1937, averaged inches in length. This growth was achieved after two and a fraction growing seasons in the lake. Fish caught in.
