A promise of several thousand
young rainbow trout for two rear
ing pools of Uie Haywood County
Hunting and Fishing club was
given at a special meeting of the
group Tuesday night at Champion
YMCA by A. H. Shields, senior
fisheries biologist for the Wildlife
Resources Commission.
Protector Taylor, in charge of
game and fish in Haywood, stated
that five residential deputy pro
tectors would be appointed in the
county. He .suggested to the club
that three men in Canton area be
recommended to him, and that he
in turn would recommend the inn,
to the state commission for ap
pointment. Deputy game protectors, carry
ing full authority to arrest law vio
lators, will be paid 'it the rate of
50 cents an hour when they are
working with the county warden
A committee composed of Gur
ley Kohinson, Clarence Buchanan,
C. H. Queen. G. Clay Pegram and
Hobe Williams was named to se
lect the deputy protector nomi
nees from the Canton area and
file them within the next few
days.
Charles A. Smith, club presi
dent, presided at the meeting, and
introduced Mr. Shields. The wild
life official was assured that rear
ing pools near Canton would he
reaxly to accommodate the young
trout within the next two weeks.
Mr. Shields pointed out that the
fish would require daily attention,
and suggested canned dog food as
food, since regular fish food is
scarce and expensive at this time.
Placed in the pool at 3-inch si.e,
they should remain a year before
being released into streams at six
inches. Even with the best of at
tention, he said, the pools will
produce only about 3(5 per cent of
the fish stocked. The estimated
cost to raise fish is 80 cents per
pound.
The club's quail restocking .pro
gram was discussed briefly by
Gurley G. Robinson, chairman of
the quail committee. He explained
that they planned to trap some lo
cal covies and restock certain areas
with a pair of quail from the trap
ping program. These stocked areas
will be protected and special quail
feed will be purchased and planted
by farmers who are cooperating.
