As a result of the $2 fishing cense fee increase, and the $1 adlaWomall Sisraifassr i Tb help meet the needs of a growing population of Utah anglers, the board approved, a $2 fishing license fee increase to help keep Utahs fish hatcheries operating at their full capacity. The additional money will be into a dedicated fund and can only be used for repair and maintenance of the Divisions 10 fish hatcheries. The Division had proposed a $1 fishing license fee increase to Utahs five RACs, but the major- ity of anglers at three of the RACs expressed concern that the $1 proposal would not raise enough money. The board agreed with the RACs and approved a $2 in- crease. If approved by the 1998 Utah Legislature, the $2 increase will be effective January 1, 1999. The increase is expected to raise almost $ 1 million a year for Utahs hatcheries. Funds needed by Utah to pard ticipate in a migratory bird harvest survey was the reason the Division and RACs recommended, and the board approved, a $1 small game license fee increase. Survey results will be used by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to monitor the harvest of migratory birds. The survey will provide data valuable in defending the hunting of migratory birds, said Wes Shields, Division wildlife section chief. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser- federally-mandate- .

CThe extra $1 for the small game license fee, and $1 of the $3 combination license fee increase, should provide a few extra thousand dollars more than is needed for the survey. This extra money will be used for upland game programs, such as buying chukars to release prior to fall hunting seasons, and for upland game water development in Utah, Shields said.
