the recent ones are most abundant,
especially 1952. At least half of the
1952 cuts are deep-snow cuts. Couple
of 7-inchers darted upstream from
hard-bottom section 7 stream just
below main dam. Creepers now has a
nest under some loose bark of same
dead l'pole where we saw Hairies feed-

The stumps producing the sprouts
