Show Fish plantings in high waters now being made The planting by plane of more than 200 off-the-road high country Utah lakes will get underway this week, according ac-cording to the department of fish and game. First plants to be made will be in southern ranges of the State where seasonal conditions are advanced compared to some ranges in northern Utah. These annual plants, made by department pilots and plane equipped with special tanks for this aerial stocking program, pro-gram, have proven highly successful suc-cessful over the past five years since this method replaced re-placed the slower, more costly planting procedure of earlier years when the small fish were carried to these waters by pack trains. Bulk of fish stocked will be brook and native trout. A majority of these will go into lakes of the high Uinta mountain moun-tain country with lesser numbers num-bers scheduled for lakes situated sit-uated on the Manti, Thousand Lake, Boulder, Escalante and Wasatch Mountain areas. The plants are made by species, spe-cies, number and time on the basis of continuing populations, food conditions and the planting plant-ing needs of each lake from year to year. |
