Nature Notes From Crater Lake
Volume 10, No. 3 - August, 1937
Fishing in Crater Lake, August
1937
By Arthur D. Hasler, Ranger Naturalist and John E. Doerr, Jr.,
Editor
In the July 1937 issue of Nature
Notes Volume X, Number 2, appears an analysis of the records of fish
caught from boats on Crater Lake during July 1937. The following chart
is a similar analysis of the catch for August 1937.
This is the first season that a study
extending over a two months period has been made of the fish caught in
Crater Lake. With such studies, along with the investigation of other
aspects of the biology of Crater Lake, continuing over several seasons,
it should be possible to look forward to the time when many of the
questions relative to the fish and fishing in Crater Lake can be
answered.
