Anglers Plan Trek For Opening Fishing Season Mav 28 Fishing Season Opens Upwards of 150,000 anglers will trek to streams, lakes, and reservoirs reser-voirs forthe May 28 opening of the Utah fishing season. Since this is the enrlist general angling season opening in many years the Department of Fish and Game today reminded anglers to expect different conditions than usually prevail. The department noted that high, roily water could be expected In most streams. The late cool spring weather may make roads and cam ping area conditions at higher elevations el-evations less favorable than has been the rule when the season opened nearer mid-June. Commission action set the ear-lier-thnn-usual opening date to give anglers the full advantage of the three-day Memorial holiday week end. It was felt that any adverse conditions would be more than offset by the earlier opportunity opport-unity to go afield over the long week end period. Many streams will not be planted plan-ted until the high water period is past. Records show a large portion of the legals stocked before, or during,, the late May and early June run-off on most streams are lost to the fisherman's creel. All streams will receive a normal or greater planting of hatchery legals as conditions permit through the season. The total hatchery program pro-gram is being geared to put more catchable-sized trout in to all waters throughout the angling sea son. It Is known that the returns JCs Delta Kiwanis.
