Show Fish losses in high waters begin to show Winter fish losses continue to show up in Utah's mountain country as access becomes possible pos-sible for the first time in some areas. Latest victim of the long winter freeze-up is Cleveland Reservoir on the Manti Mountain Moun-tain Range where the loss of trout from pan size to five pounds appears to be severe and may prove total as further checks are made. Conservation officers managed manag-ed to get to the lake by jeep recently and a shoreline check showed 222 dead fish with many more floating on the surface sur-face of the water. A check of Miller's Flat Reservoir Res-ervoir nearby showed no evidence evi-dence of winter loss with the average fish in this iake running run-ning about nine inches in length. Earlier reports show a complete com-plete loss of trout at Pear Lake under the east rim of the Boulder Mountain and a severe loss of trout in Bridger Lake on the north slopes of the Uintas. The department of fish and game said more losses are expected ex-pected to show up as other areas of the high country become be-come accessable a.id the waters wa-ters can be checked out. Each of the waters will be restocked just as soon as road and other conditions will permit. per-mit. " Have you something to do to-morrow; do it today. Benjamin Ben-jamin Franklin. |
