Parkhurst ZE and Smith MA. 1953. Report on the management of the Beardsley trout fishery of Lake Crescent, Olympic National Park. United States Fish And Wildlife Service. Portland, OR
From the Introduction: "The history of the trout populations of Lake Crescent and early efforts in artificial propagation, stocking and management of the fishery have been adequately recounted in a progress report (unpublished) by L. R. Garlick ... copy of which is attached..... This account begins with the start of Beardsley trout spawning operations at Lake Crescent by the Fish and Wildlife Service in 1949.... In an attempt to clarify this complex fishery management problem the data for the years 1949 through 1952, contined in Tables 1-4, including lengths, weights, scale analyses, and size of the runs, have been critically examined." The Beardlsee trout (Salmo gardneri beardlseei) is endemic to Lake Crescent which is within Olympic National Park, WA.
