Show Native Trout Eggs To Be Taken From Yellowstone On Monday, May 1, three Utah assistant hatcherymen will leave for Yellowstone Park to secure native trout eggs for Utah's hatcheries. hat-cheries. The men picked from Utah's hatcheries are men who have had considerable experience in egg-taking. They include Eldon Richards from Springville with three years experience, Bert Dickson Dick-son from the Morgan Hatchery with four years' experience and Howard Prince from Panguitch Hatchery with three years' experience. ex-perience. These men will remain at the egg-taking station at Yellowstone Yel-lowstone Park for approximately eight weeks. Here they will assist the Fish and Wildlife Service in the taking of eggs at the native trout egg-taking station. This is one of the few sources from which we get native eggs. This year we have been promised that we will be able to get about three million eggs from the Yellowstone Yel-lowstone Station, which will augment aug-ment the supply we get from the native trout in Strawberry Lake and Bear Lake. Utah is particularly anxious to get this species of fish inasmuch as there are many Utah waters that peculiarly adapt themselves to this species of fish alone. After the eggs have been shipped to Utah's hatcheries and hatched, the fish will be planted as fry and will be mainly placed irr Strawberry Straw-berry Lake, several hundred lakes in the Uintah Mountains, lakes and streams on Thousand Lake and Boulder Mountains in Southern South-ern Utah, and in ' the headwaters of some of our longer rivers. |
