Flfllimfl AND HUNTING

In Prince Edward Island angl- ing is confined chiefly to brook trout fishing in fresh water and tidal rivers. Potentially, trout fishing possibilities are splendid; but factors-operating over the past hundred years have greatly reduced the number and sin of fish.

The game situation has chang- ed greatly from that originally ex- isting in the Province. Ruffed grouse. wild ducks, Canada geese. brant, plover and curlew were once very plentiful; but, as settle- ment sdvancod, they became ser- zlously reduced in numbers. At present there is no open_season on player and curlew and the bat: limit for grouse. brant, geese and ducks has been progressively re- duced.

Conditions making for a large population of good trout are: a reasonable depth and volume of water. free from contamination: a plentiful supply of food and shade; suitable spawning ground.

Land Clearing

Soil conservation And Related Problems

lxaarpb tron: I Report by the Prince Edward Island Branch of the Agricultural Instituto of Canada.

Land clearing removed the for- cst cover and thereby reduced the size and volume of streams. With- out trees to retard the melting: of show during winter thaws and, in spring. ireshets became heavier, and damaged streams by deposits of mud and silt. The clear cutting of trees and shrubs along the banks of brooks ponds and streams robbed the fish of shade. cut down the supply oi insect food and con-- tributed to silting. When flour mills closed down and water pow- er was no longer used for saw-(

mills, there was a tremendous re- duction in the number of mill ponds and it great loss of accom- modation for trout. tlon from starch factories ruin- ed some streams. The illegal net- ting of trout and the illegal tak- ing of large trout when they move to head waters to spawn. no doubt. takes a heavy toll of large fish.

Ratoration and construction of dams. restriction oi clear cutting of woodlands along streams and‘ ponds, and restoration of tree and| shrub growth along the banks oi brooks and streams. tually result in an increased num-

would add much to the volume of: streams and reduce damage from. freshets. < ‘

Two main factors have effect- ed the waterfowl population: first. reduction of nesting and feeding grounds through drainage. clear-I ance of land and the destruction of milldams; second, destruction of, the feeding grounds or geese and; brant by a disease which attacked; the eel grass growing in rivers and estuaries.

The erection of dams and the ' restoration of mllldama would fa- vor an increase in the local wild duck population and provide food’ and resting grounds for migratory flocks.

Any consideration of the fish and game situation must recognize the tremendous increase in fish- ing and hunting during the past twenty-five years. It will never be possible to restole the quality of fish and‘ game to what it was even fifty years ago. However, intelli- gent management and protection of what remains canprovide an increasing number of anglers and hunters with a fair share of fish and birds and attract sportmen from outside the Pro.
