Show RELAY STATIONS - TO BE MADE BY GAME COMMISSION Three fish planting relay stations will be placed in strategic points along -the; Uintah Range for packing pack-ing fish eggs and fry into the high Uintah Lake country, it was announced an-nounced by Ross Leonard of the Utah Fish and Game Commission. The first station is under construction con-struction at Mirror Lake and will be completed this spring for use as soon as the snows leave the high trails. Each unit, according to Mr. Leonard, will consist of a warden's and wrangler's quarters and a stable for the maintenance of ten pack horses. ' Purpose of the units is to facilitate facili-tate plantings in the high lakes, which plantings in the past have been delayed many hours because of delay in using privae horses. "We can expect small trout to stay alive in the cans only eight or nine hours," Mr. Leonard pointed point-ed out. "This means that we have to move and move fast in this rugged rug-ged country. With men and horses always available, it will be possible possi-ble to bring the eggs right to the station, load them and have them on the trail within a very few hours. By this time we will be able to get the fish and the eggs, further back into the remote areas." Plans are going forward to place one unit at a designated point in cne of the canyons on the south slope in Duchesne county. Another will be placed on the far east end north of Vernal. Each station would be able to plant to the boundary boun-dary of each other station in a day's time, the director explained. |
