Show afield this year will know and respect these rules and regulations to the end that these recreational trins will be more enjovable. San Juan anglers will join the rest of the state in welcoming the tomorrow 1959 fishing season morning. The trek up Blue mountain to the lakes there should be rewarding, as the waters have been stocked with some fairly good-size- d trout, said to average three to the pound. This is quite an improvement over the Blanding area, according to reports creeping along the grapevine, where the average is said to be 5 .2 fish to the pound, in the fingerling class. Anyhoo, no matter where your rod and reel leads you, may you enjoy your fishing to the limit. A final forecast covering conditions for the June 6 opening weekend of general angling season was issued today by the Utah Department of Fish and Game. The department said that weather should hold over this first weekend of the season. The program of stocking catch-abl- e rainbow into all the hard fished waters is further ahead than for the past several years. This means that lakes and streams normally stocked with this larger sized trout will be stocked and ready for the opening weekend. Heaviest fishing pressure and most consistent creel returns are still expected to come from the old standby larger lakes and streams. The department said this was expected to be increasingly so as the season progresses under the present seriously low water conditions. These same low water conditions should also mean a banner opening day since the fish arc confined to less living space and are more accessible to the angler. The Department of Fish and Game predicted today that nearly one out of every four people in the state will he afield over the coming weekend for the opening of the general angling season. Department records show this annual opening of the trout season draws more sportsmen to the outdoors than any other event if the year, with upwards of 180,000 expected to "head for the hills tomorrow, June 6.

By F. L. Rowley neraU Did any of the others go? was amazed at the number of friends who came to stand by him. He even discovered a new hatch of loving relatives. Charlie Gant had just inherited his Aunt Marthas fortune. Well-wisher- s, most of them hungry and thirsty, came in droves. Looks like our fishing trip is off, eh Charile? I pointed to the green-eye- d mob. Not on your life, Ben, said Charlie in a soft voice. No bunch of moochers is going to spoil my Saturday. Lets get going! He hopped into my car without bothering to fetch his tackle. Tie knew I always carried a spare pole in the trunk. Charlie was pretty quiet all the way over to the lake. Maybe we can figure out a out way to get those of your house? 1 suggested with a grin. Qiarlie looked at me the way a drowning man looks at a floating log. Ben, theyre driving me nuts. Since Aunt Martha left me all the money I havent had a good nights sleep. 1 was better off without it. You wont have the money to keep you awake if youre not careful, I warned. Theyre all anxious to take it off your hands. Say, I got a good idea: why not throw a big party? Another party? And I thought you were a REAL friend! You know I am, Charlie, I chuckled. And I dont care any more about parties than you do. But I got an idea. You said that you were the only one with your Aunt Martha when she died. Aunt Martha couldnt stand them. She ran the lot of them out years ago. She liked me because I never went over to her place unless she asked me."

Well, nobody around here except you, that is really knows that your Aunt Martha is dead, do they? Sure, everybody knows. I told them. What if you were to change your story? Charlie grunted. "I couldnt do that. You know I cant lie and look anybody straight in the face. Here I was tempted to remind him of some of the fish stories he kicked around, but I didnt. He looked too miserable. Will you let me taka care of the details? I asked. Charlie obliged. They flocked in from aU directions, like buzzards to a buffalo hunt For two hours everyone present spouted warm words of praise for that noblest of citizens, Charlie Gant. The telephone rang. I was standing nearest the instrument not by coincidence. Pick it up I said in a loud voice: Good evening! Charlie Gants residence. Aunt Martha? You want me to ask Charlie how he liked your little joke, Aunt Martha? Sure, Ill ask him; hold on. The surprise on Charlies face was genuine. The silence about us was uncanny. I held the receiver out t Charlie: Its Aunt Martha. He didnt move. A disgruntled murmur rolled across the room. It was followed by Charlies friends and relatives, who filed out slowly into the night. Not one had a word of comfort for him. Charlie closed the door when they had all gone. "You did that beautifully, Ben! he said, turning to me. But I didnt lie, Charlie.
