Al Regenthal, principal waterfowl water-fowl biologist, cited cold weather as the reason for populations to be down from 51,000 birds in 1972 to 29,000 this year. Each year, during the same week in January, all states in the Pacific Flyway take inventory of waterfowl along selected routes. to determine population trends. Regenthal stated that individual states may have fewer, birds, but that population trends are determined from the flyway as a whole. He explained that cold weather in Utah this year probably caused waterfowl to luuvc isvuuif sv "Abulia aiiu d.im ifornia may have higher numbers of birds.

Kent Miller, northern regional fisheries manager for the Division Divi-sion of Wildlife Resources, said that fishermen caught their fish farther south on the lake than in previous years. He added that 7,600 anglers took 306,000 cisco during the spawning run this year.

This includes a 50-fish limit for persons age 12 and older and a limit of 25 Cisco for persons under 12." Cars were counted as they entered the area along the eastern east-ern shore of the lake. Interviews Inter-views were then conducted to determine how many anglers and how many cisco there were per car. Numbers of fishermen and harvest wee determined from these figures. Miller said, "Conditions were perfect, weather was clear and good and the ice was safe." The most cisco harvestd during dur-ing a spawning run since record keeping began in 1962 is 487,000. The most dip netters ever counted at the lake is 11,000. Fish Hatchery Opens In Utah The first fish cultural station constructed by the Divison of Wildlife Resources in more than four decades is a result of the increasing popularity of angling in Utah and the many new fishing waters developed in the state since World War II. The $650,000 J. Perry Egan Hatchery near Bicknell is Utah's most modern fish station. It is open and will phase into full production over the next two to three years. Since October, the Division has delivered approximately ap-proximately 1,750,000 trout eggs to the new hatchery, according to Rod Stone, biologist in charge of the fish culture program. The majority of the eggs will produce rainbow fingerlings for stocks this year into Otter Creek, Johnson, John-son, Koosharem and Minersville reservoirs. Catchable size rainbows will be produced and stocked from the Egan Hatchery in 1974. It takes about two years to produce 9-or 9-or 10-inch fish in the cold water at the station. Some fish produced from eggs will be held at the station for development of lake trout brood stock and Utah's first brown and brook trout brood stocks. Stone said that brown and brook eggs are nearly impossible to purchase at reasonable prices and that it is difficult to find eggs relatively free from diseases not now in the state. Construction of the new station was initiated in 1971 and included development of the water source. Pine Creek Springs; a hatchery building to handle raising of approximately 1,000,000 fry trout at a time; and the water control structures and outside raceways for holdingbrood stock and rearing rear-ing small fish to planting size,. Bids are now being accepted from contractors to construct residences for hatchery personnel, person-nel, feed storage facilities, and garage and office space. Upon completion of these buildings, slated for late this fall, the majority of the project will be finished. Construction monies were provided by sportsmen license li-cense revenue and the United States Bureau of Outdoor Recreation. Rec-reation. Blaine Hilton serves as the new hatchery's superintendent.

WayneS. Winters, Utah State Road Commissioner, presented the Draft Environmental Environ-mental Statement to offficials of Orem City, Provo City and Utah County at a joint meeting in Provo. The environmental study was undertaken as a result of testimony tes-timony taken during the public hearing on Provo Canyon in 1969 and as a result of public input following the hearing. The document explores a number num-ber of basic alternatives to providing pro-viding better transportation between be-tween Utah Valley communities and those located east o f the Wasatch Front. The alternatives range fromdoing nothing inProvo Canyon to constructing a 2 or 4-lane 4-lane highway on a new alignment. Other alternatives include locating locat-ing an approved route through one of the nearby canyons and investigating other modes of transportation.

The Draft Environmental Statement has been summarized in a 22-minute slide presentation. This presentation was previewed for the first time today before the Utah County group, "in the future, the Highway Department will make the presentation available avail-able to civic groups and others interested in the environmental report," according to Commissioner Commiss-ioner Winters. The presentation provides basic ba-sic information concerning the environmental study and should spark general interest among those who see the presentation to participate in a Highway Department De-partment public hearing on Provo Canyon that is scheduled for early summer. The hearing will be held to discuss the alternates investigated by the environmental environment-al research team. Testimony taken at the hearing willl be reviewed re-viewed by the Utah State Road Commission and a decision will be made on which alternative to adopt in the future planning of Provo Canyon. Those interested in reviewing the Draft Environmental Statement State-ment in detail, may do so by inquiring at the OremCity, Provo City or Utah County offices. checks, dorft, m |
