However there were many ;who reported "nary a strik." Fish that were taken weighed from 1 to 3 lbs. At 9 a. m. Saturday Clark Anderson, operations supervisor supervis-or for the Utah Parks and Recreation Rec-reation Commission, counted 501 cars or vehicles, and more continued to drive to the shore line, try to find a place to park, launch their boats and cast or troll for the finnies. Darrell Free and Tom Brown of Panaca, Nev., were the first to leave, with nine fish weighing weigh-ing from iy2 to 3V2 lbs. j Ted Schmidt of Salt Lake skunked his dad, Henry Schmidt, catching six beauties trolling while his dad went fish-less. Hon Cropper of Delta landed a 3 pounder, and Darryl Cropper of Las Vegas and his daughters Kelly, 12. and Kath-crine Kath-crine helped put the take up to 12 brauties. It was Kelly's first firfiing trip, and she said she'd be on the lake "from now on . . . every chance I get." Eight year old Rollo Sears, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Sears, landed an 18-inch 3-pounder, 3-pounder, and George didn't have a strike. After the opening day success, suc-cess, fishing wasn't too good.
