Washington sets the pace in game and fish output
Washington boosted trout fry and game bird production in 1917 and 1918. The state hatched about 20.24 million trout eggs in 1918 and 16 million in 1917, reared 1921 Chinese pheasants, and used vast hatchery facilities including state prisons. Despite war, Washington led Pacific Coast plantings, with substantial state hatcheries, new trout hatcheries at Whatcom and Walla Walla, and growing private propagation supported by county commissions.
