Ap?iE6ttIhi The Sports Beat By RAY SCHWARTZ Herald Sports Editor It is to the poor fish In the Provo river these days, and cental cen-tal Utah sportsmen are taking to the warpath against a situation they feel ii becoming ''intolerable" ''intoler-able" One of the most outspoken of these sportsmen Is Elma Halladay, Halla-day, Provo police officer and one of the most ardent fishermen hereabouts. ' "When the water recently was turned out of the river at the Deer Creek dam," he declared, "it spelled the death knell for a large percentage of all the fish in th river. Mind you, l"m not saying who is to blame- tor n, oui think we. as sportsmen, have a right to know who is. "if the irrigation interests In Salt Lake county control and own th water in the river, then the sportsmen have a right to know it. What the sportsmen woura like to know is what they can do about preventing such a fishing fish-ing disaster in the future. "After all the sportsmen put out thousands of dollars every year to have fish produced pro-duced and to have our streams stocked, only to see that all that effort and money go to waste In a matter of hours, because the water Is shut off from the river. "I have talked to a number of snnrtsmen who have told me that they've seen hundreds of pounds of fish lying dead in the riffles of the Provo river, beceuse of the low water situation. Why, it will take five lo 10 years to restocK the river and bring it back to normal.' "Another thing to consider is this: When the water was cut off from the river, the fish food was destroyed, with the result that it will take a helluva long time before be-fore enough food can be produced to support a normal supply of fish. "If the water 1 going to be turned out of the river and the fish allowed to die, It would be better to let the sportsmen fish the year around than have all these fish going to waste as has just happened. "The Provo river used to be the greatest fishing stream In western America. You don't have to take my word for It. All the national sportsmen sports-men magaxines will tell you as much. It is especially an outstanding stream for German Ger-man brown trout. "When this stream has the good wishing it should have, it draws sportsmen from all over the state and country. Thus, it means greater business and more money will flow into the community. "The sportsmen are getting fed up with the Provo river situation. They are getting plenty tired of paying out good money for the stocking of the river and thenJ ng the fish destroyed byl such tricks as turning the water out of the stream." Jim Lansing, another Provo police po-lice Officer and lover of the field and stream, backed up Halladay's contentions. "About the only place where there will be any fish for some time to come will be In the deep holes where the water remained. And, there are only about six or eight of these holes along -the whole river. "The dredging of the river s few months ago didn't help the situation any, either. It was Impossible to even seine any fish out of the holes where the dredging- was done. Where the holes were , untouched. It was possible to find plenty of fish. "If It becomes necessary to shut off the water from the river, it might be a good idea to have the state fish and game commission commis-sion have a man come down and see that enough water is maintained main-tained In the river to carry the fish along until the water can be allowed to flow back into the stream." These , are the expressions of two sportsmen. Comments will be welcomed from other sportsmen and from other interested groups on the Provo river situation and the best way to solve the problem. prob-lem.
