25th Annual Report of Fish Committee.
Both lakes were opened for fishing May 30th, 1900. A great many fish were caught, many of which were pickerel weighing from one to four pounds. In June the fishing was excellent ; during the hot, dry weather in August, however, it was not as good. During September and October many four and five pound pickerel and bass were caught.
The lakes are now open to winter fishing, with one hook and hand line. A large number of fish, including pickerel, have been taken. There have been a few white perch caught but the red-fin perch are more numerous than for a number of years past.
No German carp have been reported as caught but many of them have been seen sporting in the lake. A large number of people have seen them, among whom are Samuel Parker, the chairman of the committee, George R. Nichols, George M. Po- land, W. H. Godfrey, R. J. Daly, W. H. Wiley, and also the conductors and motormen on the electric cars.
At Rosson's boat house, at the head of the upper lake, they have been described as being very large, from thirty to forty pounds in weight. They are very prolific and a great food sup- ply to our native fish. No less than 700,000 eggs have been found in the ovaries of a single carp, and that, too, being by no means an individual of the largest size.
The growth of these fish is very rapid, more so, perhaps, than of any other fresh water fish.
We have a record of a few who have been very successful in catching pickerel. Byron W. Foster, night watchman at the Municipal light plant, goes out for two or three hours in the early morning. During the past season he caught over 700 pickerel, 108 in one week. Mr. Foster says that if any one had told him, before he went out fishing, that there were such a large number
of pickerel in the lake, he should have doubted the truth of the statement.
J. W. Scott caught over 500 pickerel and there are many others who caught a great many but we have not received any detailed reports. Mr. Foster, so far as reported, has taken the largest number.
It is the opinion of the committee, and others, that the fishing in both lakes has greatly improved during the last three years, as much as fifty per cent. or more.
PROTECTION.
Samuel Parker and W. H. Wiley have watched carefully to see that the rules and regulations governing the fishing on the lakes were complied with. No complaints or arrests have been made.
In May Mr. Parker obtained 3,500 trout fry, from the state hatchery at Winchester, and put them in the Saugus river. They were doing well in June. The committee expect to obtain more the coming spring. There has been no Sunday shooting or fish- ing on either of the lakes.
Respectfully submitted,
SAMUEL PARKER, Chairman, WILLIAM H. WILEY, J. C. HARTSHORNE, Secretary.
