TAKE PhEBATORY FISH FROM LAKES IndiamipolD. Ind., Aug J —(Special t Approximately 6,5(m gar and dogfish have been removed fiom several north ern Indiana lakes this spring and summer by state conservation department game watde.ns, and before woik is concluded lor (he yeir. this number will be increased several thousand it is be lieved, state const rvutiou department officials said today. Geoige N. Munnl'eld. superintendent of tlie fish and game division, directing removal of these predatory fisli from the state's public waters, says the average gar taken weighs 4 pounds, ami dm. fish. 6 pounds. However, a week's work often results in removing gar weighing 12 to 16 pounds, and one was caught last summer in Lake MaxInkuckee tint weighed 30 pounds The largest dogfish caught this season weighed 16 pounds. An idea of the weight of these destructive fish which constantly menace the game species so deal to followers of Walton, is Ulus trated in one day's catch in Lake .Limes, Steuben county, which netted 29 gar weighing 117 pounds and dogfl ih whose combined welgth was 46 pounds. The average dogfish of 6 pounds will consume at leas; a pound of fish each day. while the average gar of 4 pounds wil eat at least ha lhaf pound of fish, daily, officials say. Eaily in the season gar are firm and .-ome folks around the lakes eat them. The flesh softens as water temperalure rises and they become unedible. Predatory fish now being removed are given to fanners for chicken and hog feed and for fertilizer around young trees- When there is no demand for these fish, they are buried, Mannfeld cays. The coniservation department each year keeps four warden crews at tills work, and in several years has removed many thousands of predatory fish damaging to lake fishing. As a result of these efforts, together with protective laws, natural propagation and stocking public waters from five state hatcheries, (where million’s of young fish are artimicially propagated. Indiana is nationally known for the splendid fishing it provides. TEN BEST SELLERS Fiction
