Seagulls Top Denver ; Hockey Looms On Utahs Sports Horizon orf a0 ' The contagion that is ice hockeys is taking a hold on Salt Lake Countys sports fan. Even while major Utah universities battled it out for basketball honors, the Salt Lake Seagulls didnt have any trouble drawing over 800 fans to the Hygeia Ice Rink to witness an 8- -7 victory over Denvers Were kind of glad to see how hockey would stand up against the fanfare that both Brigham Young University and Utah had in their NCAA and NIT (National Invitational Tournament) tournaments. A All-Sta- rs. The Seagulls are 6- -0 for the 1966 season. The team, comprised of players from all walks of life, has a two-ye- ar record of 12-- 0.

T wouldnt have been too unhappy to have lost by 7, he kidded. That was a great team and really provided us with a good test limits, Rogers grinned fol- lowing his teams victory.

Skyline, Olympus Juniors Win Titles Skyline and Olympus high school area junior high cagers dominated Salt Lake County Recreation basketball action last week. Anglers from Isaak Walton down to you and I have waxed eloquent over the taste of the va Walleye. The pan rating of aiVj this interesting fish is, indeed, at the top. Also a very good game fish, Ng the Walleye is a relatively new species in Utah and is rapidly gaining in popularity. There is a certain magic connected with anv kind of eame run and it lures anglers with powerful fish spawning magnetism. Such a run is beginning among the Walleye of Utah Lake right now along the banks of the Provo River and the lake is becoming increasingly populated with anglers. Earlier this week a few large Walleye males were observed in the stream and Utah Fish and Game Department men netted some females full of roe. The Walleye does not run far up river. Most are taken below U.S. Highway 91 and mostly all spawning is done on the tors in the stream. During the spring, while these fish are making their annual spawning runs, they are found in shallower haunts and are somewhat easier to catch. After the spawn is made, they return to the lake depths. The Walleye is a large fish weighing about -8 pounds and offers fine sport for the angler who goes after him with light tackle. One of the most successful offerings for the Walleye is our Superworm, the nightcrawler. However, plain metallic lures also produce well. These should be permitted to drift into the pools then retrieved with short seventh and ninth grade championships with the two finalists in the ninth grade play coming from that area. The Skyline No. club pulled off its seventh grade title by in edging past Cyprus, 31-- 28 one of the closest games of the day. The Skyliners qualified for the championship round by placing another close game together in getting past Skyline No. 2 cagers in a 42-semi showdown. Eighth grade champions were Olympus tough team. The Olympus club downed Kearns in a three-poi- nt game, 29-in semi-fin- al play and returned to Saturdays championship round for a win over Granite, as ruled by tournament officials. The ninth grade title saw Skyline No. 1 win with a 48-victory over Skyline No. 2 cagers. 38 6- all-o- StatsN Stuff Almost anything can be done with statistics and they can be useful. A comparison made of Utahs fish and game license sales during the last biennium and the one which ended 45 years ago can shed some pretty astounding light on the number of people who are going afield these days. During the biennium which ended In 1922, a total of was spent in Utah on hunting and fishing $141,809.50 licenses. The tally at the end of the last biennium wound up at $2,098,100.45. Thats an increase of $1,956,290.50. This might sound like the Fish and Game Department But "that may not quite be the picture. is in clover. The thing which these numbers illuminate is sheer pressure. It is recbrded every year cm opening days of the general fishing and deer hunting seasons. Nonbelievers need only take a look at opening day stream-side- s, hillsides and highways. The question, which will have to go unanswered for a time, is: Does this Increase in income really mean our fish and game management programs are keeping ahead, or abreast, of increases in anglers and hunters? 1 Poachers Watch It There were still a number of poachers and other encroachers on our game laws during February, a slow month for outdoor activity. The states courts processed 141 fish and game violators and fines from these netted the department $2,088.70. Violations of waterfowl and fishing laws accounted for most of the arrests. These folks would have been better off cleaning their guns and dressing their fishing lines. i max to a program that included 12 Salt Lake City schools, We feel that these men, 14 schools from the Granite directed by Mr. Sorensen, can School District and two from provide a top level winter proMurray.

Utah Stocks Waters Utah waters were stocked with 13,747,174 game fish during 1965 by the Utah Department of Fish and Game. The majority of fish stocked were rainbow trout, with other being cutthroat, species brown, rook and lake trout. Kokanee salmon and walleye were also stocked in a few selected waters. In addition to the fish stocked by the Department, channel catfish and rainbow trout were stocked into Utah waters from Federal hatcheries. Total weight of the fish stocked by the Department was The same 897,768 pounds. number are scheduled to be stocked this year. Don Andriano, Chief of Fisheries, said the goal of the planned stocking program is to stock each water with the number, site and kind of fish based upon the existing biological condition of the stream or. lake and the fishing pressure exerted.
