Show v FISH AND GAME HIGHLIGHTS The high lakes and streams open op-en Saturday, July 2, 'throwing Utah's fishing season wide open, according to R. L. Turpin, Utah Fish and Game director. The Uintah Uin-tah lake area, itsll blanketed with snow and with many of the roads choked with snow drifts, will be the hot-bed area for the second opening. The fish and gajne department has not been able 'to stock the high lakes this spring because of heavy snows. Hatcherymen are still waiting for the weather to clear the north slopes so that the fish trucks can get into Trial Washington Lakes and the area this side of Mirror lake. The state holds little hope that the Mirror lake road will be passable from Trial lake. Also opening will be the north slope of the Uintah mountains and such lakes as Marsh, China, ; Beaver, and the chain of lakes at the head of the north slope 'streams. Brid?er lake south of Fort Bridger, has suffered a heavy fish loss from winterkill. Turpin explained. This lake is out of the picture for this year. Two Brighton lakes in Salt Lake county will open they are Lake i Mary and Twin lake. These wa-i wa-i ters were kept closed past their ; normal opening because of ice I and the danger factor. They are i all set for action Saturday, however. how-ever. Sportsmen are urged to check on road conditions in the higher mountain areas before planning early season trips. Current Creek road was snowed in at both ends when checked June 24. This road like many others, may not be open op-en by July 2, Turpin explained. |
