GENERAL REPORT OF J. C. HARTSHORNE FISH AND GAME WARDEN FOR WAKEFIELD


Appointed and Sworn in October 16, 1914


Game birds in Wakefield and vicinity, though not plentiful, have been numerous enough to draw scores of hunters to the woods, meadows and lakes with, in many cases, good results. Pheasants, particularly, were very numerous on all sides, with partridges a good second, also a few quail and woodcock. Ducks (black), widgeon and dippers were often found on the upper meadow shores of Lake Quannapowitt. Many large flocks of geese passed over, a few resting in the water, but too wild to reach for a shot. Several hunters reported having seen deer-tracks, but no deer. I have given most attention to the young hunters - thirteen years to twenty years - who don't go so far afield as their elders. Have met many of them; but no one, old or young, has been without a license. Foxes have been unusually numerous in regions north of Wakefield.


Fish. Crystal Lake is closed to all boat-fishing, it being the source of domestic water supply. Fishing from the shores has been allowed, but with meager results. Lake Quannapowitt is our main reliance, and a more reliable, resourceful, good fish and fish-breeding pond it would be hard to find in eastern Massa- chusetts. Large numbers of pickerel weighing from one-half to four and one-half pounds were caught. One angler reports a string of 54, 52, 38 and 25 for four trips. Very large numbers of yellow perch were brought ashore; and black bass, though not plentiful, repaid the patience of those who went prepared properly. Crickets and shrimp proved to be the best baits. Two pike- perch were caught, showing that the recent planting of fry has not been in vain. These fish should give fine food and great


162


sport next fall. No white perch were seen, and we earnestly desire a renewal of this excellent food fish in these waters. All restrictions on Lake Quannapowitt expire November 1, 1915. A suitable screen should be placed at the outlet of the lake. German carp, heretofore plentiful, were seldom seen. I have traveled on foot fully forty miles, covering all sections of the town, one to two miles from the City Hall, including parts of Lynnfield, North Reading, Reading and Stoneham.


Three deer seen in region of Castle Rock and North Saugus.


Six wardens would not be too many to do all the work needing to be done.


Yours cordially,


J. C. HARTSHORNE, Warden.


Wakefield, Dec. 28, 1914.
