Show PANGUITCH LAKE OPENING SET FOR JUNE 11 The Utah Department of Fish and Game plans to rehabilitate the trout fishing in Panguitch Lake through a total fish erad-'cation erad-'cation project now forecast for mid-August this year. Commission Com-mission approval was recently given for the project largest venture of its kind in the state up to the present time. The lake will open to fishing fish-ing June 11. From the opening open-ing day until it is chemically chemic-ally treated the commission set up liberal regulations covering the taking of trout as an inducement for anglers to harvest the trout population popula-tion prior to the eradication. The trout limit was set al 20 fish per day, with the provision pro-vision that anglers taking more than the decreed limit of 10 trout common to other state waters must have their catch validated by the attending attend-ing warden. Other regulations for Panguitch Pan-guitch Lake include legal angling ang-ling 24 hours a day and use of nnv-anethod other than firearms, fire-arms, explosives,, cJiemicals anjL shocking devices to take fish. Among other things, this means that unlimited lines, chumming, use of nets and like means are all legal. The lake will receive a maximum plant of fingerling trout approximately 30 days after treatment, or about mid-September. They are expected ex-pected to provide legal and larger fish to the creel during dur-ing the early days of the 1956 season. Chemical treatment of the lake will cost approximately $10,000, and is the major such project planned by the department depart-ment for 1955. |
