Duck, Here Conies the Five-Te- n (From the Utah State Fish and Game Department) Utah's eastern empire, the Uintah country, with its many streams and its high peaks, remains much as it has always been,, a sportsmans paradise and a haven to many kinds of wdld game animals. This empire, flanked on the north by the Uintah range, the only large range in the east-we- st western hemisphere, breaking away in the rimrock at the edge of the desert to the south, is a land of contrasts. Here as in few other places in the country does civilization and raw nature go as much hand in hand. A fine highway, U. S. 40, from coast to coast via Salt Lake City and Denver, pierces the region, crossing at right angles the man ystreams which head in the perpetual snows and find their way to the Green and Colorado rivers. Civilization with its comforts has followed up many of these streams and then stopped, leaving untouched a vast wilderness from which issues continually the call of the wild. The Uintah country, in which are Uintah and Duchesne counan anglers ties, has long been paradise and judging from the state fish and game department records it will continue to be. This area will receive its quota of the record legal sized fish plant scheduled by the department for this year. The state fish and game commissioner, Newell B. Cook, has announced that there will be legal sized fish planted in Utah waters thi3 year. Some have been planted already but the big work has been held back until just recently by the wet spring. The Uintah waters will get their share of the plant, the amount depending upon water conditions from time to time. In addition to its fishing the Uintah Basin boasts of the marvelous canyons of the Green River famous for its colorings; the Jensen dinosaur quarries, where some of the largest and most perfect dinosaur fossils are found; herds of mountain sheep; river bottoms with ducks and geese in uncountable numbers; high mountains, a thousand lakes, most of which are unnamed; pack trails and virgin woods. To add to the natural setting is the Indian reservations with its tribal traditions. And then tying this wilderness into civilization and putting it at the door of thousands is the major east and west highway, a secondary east and west highway a northward outlet over the range to the transcontinental highway, U. S. 30 in and another outlet Wyoming, southward via Carbon county to transcontinental highawy 50, in east central Utah. The fish and game department perdicts a good year for angling in the Uintah Basin. Because of altitudes and the cold water which makes fish firm and active but Uindelays spawning, much of the tah country opens later than other fishing waters. Of the lakes. Brown Duck Lake and Moon Lake are the two most famous. Strawberry reservoir is another fishing spot of renown, while the Ganddaddy basin and many of the other upper lakes still offer their challenge to to come and get the fish which thrive in numbers. But, just as some of the good fishing in Duchesne and Uintah county is right at the running boards of automobiles so is some of the best fishing far from the beaten path and only accessible by the "right foot-lefoot method or by saddle horse. Much of the state fish and game department planting has been done by horse, the modern fish trucks being too far advanced for the pack trails. Part of the area also has been planted by the U. S. bureau of fisheries, which also had to resort to pack train. The record shows that the state fish and game department made the following plantings in Du chesne county: August 1, Lake fork river, 12, 000 native fry; September 3, Rock creek 20,000 three inch lochleven and 20,000 three inch rainbows Sept. 22, Beaver dams, 8,000 two inch rainbow; Sept. 27, Strawberry river, 4,000 eight inch lochleven and 5,000 four inch rainbow; Oct. 8, Duchesne river, 2,000 nine inch lochleven; Oct. 12, Rock creek, 40.000 four inch lochleven; Oct. 13, Uintah river, 100,000 two to six inch rainbow; Lake Fork, Moon Lake, 100,000 two to six inch rain bow; October 14, Yellowstone, 100.000 two to six inch rainbow 0 October 18, Strawberry creek, two to six inch rainbow; Oct 18, Lake canyon, 15,000 two to six inch rainbow; October 19, Uintah river 15,000 two to six inch rainbow; January 22, Strawberry river, 1,000 large catfish.
