OUTDOORS It’s practically raining fish in many parts of Northern Ontario as the De­ partment of Lands and Forests car­ ries out its annual spring fish plant­ ing programme from the air. Lake trout, speckled trout fingerlings, Kam­ loops and other game varieties -are being dropped by planes of the Divi­ sion of Air Service from heigths ranging from 500 to 1,000 feet. With the planting techniques now in use, biologists and other experts concerned expect 98 to 100 per cent of the fish to survive. There is still a place, of course, for the ranger, conservation officer, camp, or sportmen’s group to assist in the laborious task of packing the fish in to planting sites via special pack tanks. But major planting operations now are carried out by air, saving time, labour and money and resulting in better fishing for sportsmen. Air planting has been used in other parts of Canada and the United States but not on as large a scale as in Ontario’s “Operation Fish Drop.’’ This method is fairly simple now, with the advance of such aircraft as the Beaver, which can land on or drop close to small lakes accessible in the past only by trail. It isn’t a haphazard business. Lakes where fish are to be planted are first surveyed by Department biologists to determine the amount of food avail­ able in the waters and its suitability. The,fish then are trucked from pro­ vincial government hatcheries to the nearest air base, transported in aerat­ ed water to preserve their condition. Special equipment is used in the cabin of the aircraft to keep the fish in prime shape in transit. From take­ off, the pilot ’ reaches his destination in minutes, eliminating the long overhauled trips and delays which meant the loss of many fish in the past. A low dip, a released trigger and the fish land in the lake with a minor splash. Observers report that the fish seem a trifle dazed for a moment in their new home, then swim, away none the worse for the experience. There was a time when air plant­ ing was looked upon with doubt by many. Biologist Russell Whitfield, of Tweed, has encountered some of the sceptics. “When it was found that hatchery fish were to be dropped from aircraft into district lakes, one sceptic wrote that all the fish dropped from air­ craft in the Tweed district last year died as a result of the fall,’’ he report­ ed to Department headquarters. “This was a year before our first air plant­ ing.” Another reported that all the fish planted “had been dropped in the bush instead of the water.” This re­ port, Whitfield says, was received two weeks before the district planting be­ gan. On one occasion last year, 54,000 fish were planted in one day; old truck method plantings averaged 3,000 a day. Experts say that “due to the high ratio of surface area to body weight, the maximum speed of fall of the fish is not great, so that after a very brief period of recovery from the sur­ prise of spending a few seconds with the birds, they quickly dive into the depths and begin life in a new home.” BACKACHE MaybeWarninq Backache is often caused by lazy kidney action. When kidneys get out of order, excess acids and wastes remain in the system. Then backache, disturbed rest or that tifed-out and heavy-headed feeling may soon follow. That’s the time to take Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Dodd’s stimulate the kidneys to normal action. Then you feel better—sleep better—work better. Get Dodd’s Kidney Pills now. 51 G.
