The raré Eagle Lake trout,

survive in the highly alkaline
Waters of .Eagle Lake, Lassen
County, is being helped along the
of Fish and Game.
A plant of 5,350 seven-inch
yearlings has just been made in
the lake, following up a similar
planting of 9,103 last November.
These trout were raised at Crystal
Lake Hatchery, Cassel. They were
reared from eggs taken from
trout in Pine Creek, their. lone
spawning tributary. _
Last year the Wildlifé Conservation Board allocated $26,000 for
a weir and egg collecting station
which was built at the mouth of
Pine Creek. So far ‘only a relatively few fish have been taken
at the station. Eagle Lake trout
