Show i 8 BOX ELDER JOURNAL, Brigham City, Utah June Thursday, June 5, 1975 again on the opener of the 1975 fishing season. Shoulder to shoulder fishermen jockeyed for position nearly the whole day of the opener last Saturday and most took home fish, any in the two to four pound group. Word must have spread fast, because fishermen have been water working to the past few days, starting early and staying late. Plenty of holdover fish from last year have been showing up as well as the planters put in just prior to the opening. close-to-hom- e Just as Well It was just as well that plenty of local anglers stayed home, because reports from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources said fishing success elsewhere was spotty. Close to home waters such as Blacksmith Fork and Logan rivers produced almost nothing while the impoundments were reported to be a little better. Both rivers were high due to runoff. Porcupine reservoir wasnt rated a hot spot but Mary Jane Moore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Oakley Moore of 178 Poplar in Brigham City nailed one of the best fish of the opener, a seven pound 13 ounce German brown. seven-year-ol- d Trolling was trolling with her father and three brothers and took the 29'2-inc- h trout with a spinner. Oh, by the way, the rest of the Moore family took but a single, much smaller, trout among them. Etna and Lynn reservoirs, of course, were closed and She produced nothing. Anglers, a very few, trying the little Mantua reservoir were disappointed. Few planters showed up. Several anglers worked Box with varied results. The water wasn't scheduled for planting but a fair population of browns lurk in the diminutive creek. Elder creek Willard Fair Anglers who got away from and tried for crappie, walleyes and catfish at the crowds Willard Bay probably turned up with as many fish as anyone. The crappie, ranging to two have turned up pounds, regularly and provide plenty of fun for the youngest anglers.
