Trout Hatchery Planned
In Pisgah Forest Area
News Of Francis
Cove Community
By MRS RHODA EICKMAN
Community Reporter
The W S. C. 8. of the Francis
Cove Methodist Church met with
Mrs. R. H. Boone for their reg
ular monthly meeting, Tuesday
night.
Mrs. W. A. Hyatt led the devo
tional and various other members
present participated on the pro
gram
Plans were discussed during the
business session in an effort to
create mor? interest and to secure
pledges from the members to be
more loyal in their work of the
circle and to attend the meetings
regularly.
The next meeting will be held at
the church the first Tuesday night
in April.

A $379,000 trout hatchery ? the
Rrst in Pisgah National Forest ?
will be constructed by the V. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service on Da
vidson River at Grogan Creek.
A bill to provide for establish
ment of the hatchery was intro
duced in Congress Wednesday by
Rep. George A. Shuford of Ashe
viiie.
The bill would appropriate
necessary funds for construction
of the hatchery.
Site of the proposed hatchery? j
for which plans have been com
pleted in Atlanta, Ga? regional
Fish and Wildlife headquarters ?
will be at John Rock in Transyl
vania County.
During the 1930s, the 75-acre
tract was location for the John
Rock Civilian Conservation Corps
camp. It lies near the Pisgah
Ranger District trout rearing sta
tion on the headwaters, of David
son River. The rearing station is
operated jointly by the Fish and
Wildlife Service and N. C. Nation
al Forests.
Construction of the hatchery
would mean a boom to Western
North Carolina trout fishing, ac
cording to District Ranger Ted
Seeley of Pisgah Forest.
At present, streams In the
Pisgah District are stocked from
the rearing station. The station
in turn must obtain young fish
from the nearest hatchery?Fish
and Wildlife's hatchery in Wal
halla, S. C. Only some 43,000 trout
per year are turned out by the
rearing station thtough this pro
cedure for stocking.
Seeley said the additional im
petus to the trout stream stocking
program could boost the output
to several hundred thousand per
year and provide trout for all
Western North Carolina trout
streams.
At present, streams elsewhere
in WNC are stocked from smaller
rearing stations in Wayah Ranger
District near Franklin and from a
state hatchery serving the Toe
cone-Catawba district from Mc
Dowell County.
Seeley said that a new state
hatchery ? originally proposed by
the state for the Davidson River
site?Is to be constructed on Arm
strong Creek near Marion.
Seeley said construction on the
new federal hatchery was slated
to begin In July. When complete,
it would provide all the trout
needed for WNC streams, he said,
without going outside the state.
The hatchery and the existing
rearing station will than be oper
ated as a joint program, he said
The John Rock area is some six
miles from thd Davidson River
archway entrance to the Pisgah
National Forest and about 10 miles
northwest of Brevard
Officials of N. C. National For
ests here were out of town last
night and could not be reached for
additional details on the hatchery.
