Many visitors cannot understand why there are no fishin some of the lakes that, to their eyes, seem just as well 276 THE LAKE OF THE SKY —LAKE TAHOE adapted for fish as others that possess an abundance. Evenold timers do not all know the reason. If a lake is shal-low, when the deep snow falls it soon sinks below the sur-face in a heavy mushy mass that presses down upon the fishand prevents their breathing. Then, if a severe frost fol-lows and the mass freezes the ice squeezes the fish to thebottom. Over three years ago Watson took fish to BessieLake, putting in as many as 6000 fry of Lake Tahoe andother species. The next year, and the following years theywere all right, having grown to eight or nine inches inlength. Then came a severe winter and in the spring therewas not a living fish left. The bottom was strewn withthem, many of them with broken backs.

CHAPTER XXIX HUNTING AT LAKE TAHOE IN the chapter on the Birds and Animals of the TahoeRegion I have written of the game to be found. Thereare few places left in the Sierras where such good deer-and bear-hunting can be found as near Tahoe. During thedense snow-falls the deer descend the western slopes, ap-proaching nearer and nearer to the settlements of the upperfoothills, and there they do fairly well until the snow be-gins to recede in the spring. They keep as near to the snowline as possible, and are then as tame and gentle almost assheep.
