Show Tish And Game News Notes... Scott Avenue Hatehery The big bottleneck that has been felt at the Scott Avenue Hatchery ever since its construction has now been circumvented. With the new addition of over 1,000 feet of dirt-filled fry ponds, Mr. Egan reports that we are now able to handle any number of fry that will be necessary to culture in the running of the Scott Avenue Hatchery Hat-chery This should so increase the efficiency of the hatchery that many more fish of legal-size will be produced for planting in the watersheds of Salt Lake County. Burraston Pond Development Reconstruction of the dam in the north pond at Burraston's in Juab County commenced this week. The pond that has been dry for some time was a part of the development de-velopment program made at that spot several years ago. Because of the lack of equipment and manpower man-power and emergencies that had to be met in other places, this construction has not been started before. Upon inspection of the property, Director Egan not only became enthusiastic about the rebuilding re-building of this dam, but in the possible construction of two other large dams in this vicinity. Unless there is serious objection by water users, the construction of two new dams will in all probability begin as soon as the repair on the old dam is completed. When and if the three are finished, fin-ished, it should almost double the pond space at Burraston's. Bearlake Fishing M. J.
