June of 1928 -
200,000 brook trout were stocked into Maligne Lake at Jasper National Park. The brook trout came to Alberta by train as fish eggs during the winter of 1927 from Creaco, Pennsylvania. There is no mention of where the brookie eggs were kept and then hatched. The fry were hatched, brooded and finally transported by packhorse to Maligne Lake and released.
During the 1920's stocking fish in Glacial waters was still a federal experiment.
