Fishing In Crater Lake, August 1937
By Arthur D. Hasler, Ranger Naturalist and John E. Doerr, Jr., Editor

Fishing in Crater Lake, August 1937

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.
