A multiplicity of questions cond June 6 cerning the opening of the general trout season in Utah continue to pour into Department of Fish and Game offices and to field personnel throughout the state. A department spokesman said this is a normal seasonal occurence and that the questions also are normal as they range from "What will be stocked?" to "Are the roads passable to this or that water?" With only slightly more than two weeks remaining before this "big event" for an expected 180,-00- 0 anglers, the following answers were listed by the department to the most often asked of these questions. If you had good fishing success during the late weeks of the 1958 season on a particular water, that same water should be a good spot for the opening this season. This applies especially to the larger waters, both stream and lake, which are not often affected by and drought, the winter freeze-u- p other adverse conditions. Present low water conditions statewide, plus the earlier opening of many roads, forecast a planting of catchable size trout into numbers of waters which are not normally reached before opening day. Anglers planning to go into these areas were advised to check locally on road and water conditions. Reports currently indicate that many of the high country waters will be "fishable" on June 6. These include the upper elevation streams and lakes of the Uintas, Boulder, Thousand Lake and other such areas. Here again, however, the department cautioned anglers to check locally concerning specific waters and roads. There will be more than 600,000 catchables stocked into the waters from the 12 state hatcheries before opening day. All told, the present low waters forecast a concentration of anglers on the larger streams and lakes as the season progresses. In a last word, the department reminded anglers to respect the rights of the private property owner, to remember to take their license along and to wear it visibly as the law requires, and to go prepared to meet the cool and sometimes damp weather common to the higher elevations at this sea- h.
