The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 1- The Wissahickon
Page 45 contains handwritten notes of Jellett on white lined note paper. These notes are entitled "Fish and Fishing". Jellett describes the stocking of trout in the Wissahickon (starting in 1895). Normally the waters of the Wissahickon would be cold enough to sustain trout; however, the waters proved too warm and the trout were confined to specific areas (Cresheim Creek). Heavy rain storms contributed to the problem by releasing warmer water from open areas to the north into the creek. In May, 1903, 35,000 new trout were stocked in the Wissahickon.Collection
