Show Lake Powell gets viewing Wesley A. Nelson of St. George was elected to a two-year two-year term as chairman of the Utah Fish and Game Commission Commis-sion when the five-man. policymaking policy-making board met recently in Page, Arizona. Primary purpose of the Page meeting was to view and study at first hand the recreational developments which will derive from the building of Glen Canyon Can-yon Dam and the impounded Lake Powell waters on the Colorado River. National Parks Service official offi-cial met with commission members mem-bers to outline projected plans for boating, camping and other installations now planned for the 180-mile long lake. Commission spokesmen said current plans call for the planting plant-ing of both cold and warm water species of fish in an attempt at-tempt to develop a prime fishery, fish-ery, with early plants of both trout and bass to take place soon after the lake begins to form behind the dam. This will probably be early in 1963. |
