Doug had been fishing Recreation's great City budget passes $1.14 The fish're bitin' in East Juab County by Roy E. Gibson has often been said that If It too busy to go fishin', youre youre just too busy! Fishin in East Juab County is enjoyed by many people, and from reports furnished by Conservation Officer Neil Bingham, many more should be dipping baited hooks in Salt Creek where there is an overpopulation of brown trout. Burraston Pond, on the other hand, is well populated with rainbow and brook trout but fishermen are having a hard time landing their limits there. fish Some 1,500 catchable-siz- e were planted in Burraston Pond recently, and the ponds will be stocked again before the end of June in preparation for the July 4 weekend, when an unusually large number of fisher- men are expected to try their luck. Bingham said that there is considerable natural food in Burraston and that the trout do not seem to have an appetite for worms or cheese. Best luck on the ponds has been gained with flies, he said. The brook trout in the northeast pond respond to the flies best of all. Some fishermen at the ponds have been complaining of the increasing number of chubs. The chubs either steal the bait off the hook or get themselves caught while doing it, only to be tossed back into the waters to live another day to taunt other fishermen. To overcome the chub problem, the Department of Wildlife Resources plans to poison the ponds this fall but because of the springs which continually replenish Don't forget the SASE the water supply in the ponds, even poisoning fails to control the nuisance fish completely. Down stream from Burraston, fishing has not been good this year unless youre interested in catching a carp or two. Thats all that fishermen have been pulling out, Bingham indicates. As far as Salt Creek is concerned, fishing there has been good, the conservation officer reports. The brown trout population has been growing over the past few years and no plantings have been made since the original planting several years ago. The population of brown trout is so great that the stream is actually Bingham said. He encourages persons with a flare for stream fishing to visit the stream often to control the number of trout. With the water level decreasing on the upper portion of the canyon stream, it is not expected that additional plantings of catchable trout will be made there this summer. over-populate- ever-increasin- g self-address- The approval by the Four Corners Regional Commission of a grant of $101,100 toward the establishment of the Nephi Industrial Park has been received by the Six County Economic Development District, according to Kent Nelson, director.

City officials met on Wednesday and instituted a plan which they hope will limit the use of water through a surcharge on quantities of water for culinary and outside usage. The limits placed on a residence housing four persons or less is 12,000 gallons for culinary and household use and 10,000 gallons for outside use for a total of 22,000 gallons per month, starting with the June reading of meters. An additional use of 1,000 gallons is permitted for each additional person living in the home. The resolution also limits business use of water in the city limits to a quantity equal to 75 percent of the usage per month of the May through September 1976 average. Users exceeding the totals above will be billed at $.50 per 100 gallons ($5.00 per thousand) for the excess water used.

Frampton explained that flow from Bradley Spring decreases annually during the last half of June and the first of July. In years past, however, the flow has then increased to provide sufficient water for the area. This year's drought could change the flow pattern at Bradleys spring, though, and if this occurs, t he community could be in a serious situaout-of-cit- y tion.
