Show Prospects brighten for reservoir fishermen; streams are murky and it's always a good idea to carry a fishing proclamation in your tackle box. A big, big crowd is expected for this opening weekend of the '67 season, so plan ahead, leave in plenty of time and drive with care to and from your fishing trip. Prospects for the June 3 fishing fish-ing opener continue to brighten for the reservoir fishermen, bue still look murky and high for the stream anglers in most areas. The big weekend for 255,000 Utahans is nearing and it now looks like heavy pressure on the lakes and reservoirs and the few streams in good enough shape to be fished. The few day left will be busy ones for those who haven't started cleaning out their tackle box, buying the new fishing license and taking care of the dozens of other tasks prior to leaving on the first fishing trip of the year. Surveys by Fish and Game personnel indicate a carryover of fish in many waters so there will be some real lunkers caught in addition to the catch-ables catch-ables in the 8 to 12 inch class. Water levels on the reservoirs reser-voirs are high and this may make camping space along the shorelines at a premium. The Uinta Mountains and the Manti Mountains will be questionable ques-tionable fishing since there will be little if any access to most of the lakes on these two areas. Don't forget those fishing licenses for everyone in your party 12 years of age and over |
