Ie -organized Sports Scene - By Sandy MacDonald The "Circle City Riders," an ominous SOUnding title perhaps, bitt innocent enough beneath the surface, is the name which a group of youthful motorbike enth. usiastics around Goderich adopt. ed for their club' which they form. ed last year. Membership in the club nutn. bered 45 during their first year of operation. Elected to presid. ent was Ken Crawfoid, Ann Hari - die acted as seer, etary. treasur er, and Amin/ Wallacewas vice. president. They still hold those offices and will until, they are rp• placed at another organizati4n meeting yet to .be schedaled., For a newly organized motor. cycle club, the Circle City,Rid. ers made an excellent showing last year. To illustrate this point it may be recalled that their float - Area streants and rivers are continually being replenished -with game fish, particularly trout species,and an a:rticle in the lat. -est bulletin published by the dep. aliment of land and fore§ts 111. ustrates clearlyhow thisrestocks ing by garne and fisheries off. icers is accomplished. This news item, entitled, "Man-made Nests For Ralnbows" is reprintedhere as follows; ,PARRY SOUND:, It's not every day that People are asked to sub. stitute for fish, latit this spring, 100,000 ripe 'rainbow trout eggs received that special treatment 'from Skeleton Lake Hatcheryern. ployees, • As Department of Lands and Forests biologist§ are interest. ed in seeing how rainbow trout (one 'of Ontario's finest pine fish) will survive in various Parry Sound area streams; the eggs had to be carefully set in suit. able locations. The skilfully built man-made nests which wouldhold the eggs, could even fool the smartest fish. First of all, a knowledge of fish habits (including nest.building) was essential. Rainbow trout dig their nests and, when eggs are laid and fertilized, the female covers them with a protective layer of gravel. The eggs mustbe bathed by the oxygen.laden river Water. The men used shovels and rakes to scoop a depression in a .silt.free gravel bed. Next, a metal tube (which -resembled a slnall 'garbage can) ,was driven down into the depression„ confin. ing an areaof current -free water. Stones,dropped into the tube, formed the basis . 'of the nest.. Stones and gravel were placed al% ound it to resist the full force otthe river once the tube was re. m uved, wnile allowing water (with its precious ,oxygen) to seep in. A few thousand of the -eggs were placed gently in each of the nests, and 'covered with more gravel and stones. The tube -was. then care. fully dislodged fioni the river bed and the man.made nests were left t o the mercies of the water. From hatching time on, the tiny rainbows will be on their own. Many may be eaten by predatory fish- countleas other hazards can deplete their number s. F isheries officers hope the fittest survivors will retiirn to this same area in a few years to spawn.
