Gibson-Maitland's ponds at Howietoun, where the trout are artificially fed, the trout, averaging 4 lbs. each, were distributed over the area in the proportion of one fish to each one and a half square yards in water five feet deep. I quote this sentence from the works of one of the keenest and most reliable observers as giving some idea of the extreme fish-bearing capacity of water under the most favourable but purely artificial circumstances. It would be at least most unlikely, if indeed not impossible, to achieve such results in any ordinary fishing stream; but it must be borne in mind that attention to the same points which produced so remarkable a head of fish in captivity may be applied with more or less success to any water suitable to the growth of trout or grayling, and once established, the head of fish may, without any great difficulty, be maintained from season to season. Briefly, the points are--Stock, feed, and protect, and these constitute the pisciculturist's golden rule; and of these three heads I propose first to treat in detail, followed by a few hints as to the management of the water, as regards cutting of weeds and adapting the fishery to the natural wants of the trout and grayling when established there. Stocking may be effected in several ways. 1. By turning in large fish. 2. By catching fish in various tributaries or small streams and turning them in. 3. By turning in artificially bred fry, yearling, or two-year-old fish. 4. By either spawning artificially so as to obtain the ova, or by purchasing eyed ova, and either breeding them in hatching troughs, or, better still perhaps, by...
