Florida has an odd way of spawning killers of unique proportions. Drifters, crazies, contract murderers all find their way to Florida. They all think they're innocent, but as Matthew, Cowarf, begins to, cif through the fog of hate, fear and dubious evidence, he:becomes a believer. Trout aren't only stocked fish in state's sAnglers in Pennsylvania are used to seeing in the spring months the Fish and Boat Com- mission’s big white stocking trucks, fondly referred to as the Great White Fleet. It is during this time that Commission em- pléyees are busy stocking close to five million trout in the state's 900-plus trout streams and lakes. ‘But what often is not noticed is the many trips made by these same trucks to other waterways in the state during late spring and summer. These trips are destined to stock species other than trout, fish that grow to offer Keystone state anglers a variety of fishing all year-round. However, unlike the ,coldwater trout that are stocked as adult fish, most of these fish—referred to by fishery scientists as warmwater and coplwater fish—are stocked as small fingerlings or even smaller “fry.” Fry sometimes are described as being not much more than two eyes and a wiggle and often are only weeks old when carried to their new home. FINO'S PHARMACY At The Light In Dallas 675-1141 We Fill Most ~~ Third Party “Prescriptions Included in this grouping are walleye, muskellunge, bass, American shad, striped bass and a variety of panfish. These fish spawn in the spring, in some cases before all of winter's ice has com- pletely left the lakes. Most of the hatchery spawning activity takes place at the Commission's large warmwater facility near Linesville, Crawford County. The fish may be reared, however, at several other hatcheries throughout the state. And it is from these facili- ties that the great white fleet trav- els to lakes and rivers with loads of fish that include species other than trout. The numbers of these so-called warmwater fish far exceed the numbers of trout that the Com- mission stocks. Whereas five million brook, brown and rain- bow trout normally are stocked each year, this year the Commis- sion planted more than 102 mil- lion of these “other” fish. How- ever, unlike trout, which are stocked as adults, most of the warmwater species stocked need one to three years before they reach adultorlegal minimum size. By far the most predominate species stocked is walleye. This year, 94 million fingerling, fry and adult walleye were planted in about 140 waters throughout the state. In addition, 32,000 saugeye, a walleye hybrid, were stocked in waters in the western part of the state. More than six million American shad were raised by the Commission and stocked, primar- ily in the Susquehanna River Watershed. The total also in- cludes more than 130,000 striped waters bass. Channel catfish, smallmouth and largemouth bass, crappies, yellow perch, muskel- lunge and pickerel, among oth- ers, make up the balance. In addition to these warmwater spe- cies, the Commission alsoreleased more than 204,000 landlocked Atlantic salmon and 110,000 lake trout in limited waters between January and July of this year. The Commission's fish culture program involves 13 fish culture stations or hatcheries and has been recognized as one of the finest programs of its kind in the nation. And while the great white fleet will continue to make the usual springtime trips to trout waters, anglers can be assured the Commission also is working to maintain and enhance a vari- ety of other fishing opportunities as well.
