In the Butte area, water is receding slowly. The salmon fly hatch was out on die lug Hole area in die Maiden Rock-Diviand has progressed upstream. Let that be a warning to you! If youre heading for the Uintas take along plenty of skeet dupe! Despite the remoteness of the Forest Service bag camp here a heated sports rivalry is being waged. The boys at the Dahlgreen Canyon camp journey over after dinner and take on the Gilbert Creeks in volleyball. Nothing was settled the night your Dead Fish Editor was a spectator. Final score was Dahlgreens 2, Gilbert Creeks 2. . Yaa r Beaten aad Minor takes are both good. THERE IS PLENTY of yelling and excitement But a few away in the safety of his pond, a big beaver pays absoyards t lutely no attention as he goes about his chore of patching the - , dam. 1 d One of our party tried his luck fishing a creek . that meanders through Gilbert Meadows.

The city slickers nibble daintiy at a pear, take a sip of ' coffee and head for the fresh air! Some of the boys are griping because an early ' season deer hunt forestry has been set up on the north slope. They ' point out that last time this was tried the country was so crowded with hunters the deer spooked and hunt success was very light. Story - of an rrv - ' Unrivaled scenic grandeur is the reward of fisher-me-a who try their luck in the lakes of Utahs High WYO. This broad country north of the Uintas I, HILLIARD, is full of tales of pioneer times. , Like the one about the engineering genius from back east ; who thought up the idea of running a flume from the headwaters - of the Bear River down to Hilliard on the original main line of the Union Pacific. ' LOGS HERE FLOATED down the flume to Hilliard where they were burned In kilns to produce charcoal. The charcoal was 'shipped down to early day .smelters in Salt Lake Valley. The scheme was good and ,the company made money. But - the genius was smart enough .to foresee that the development of ; coal mines was going to do away with the charcoal market So he sold out to his partners, grabbed a handful of U.P. passenger - coach and journeyed elsewhere. You can still see the remnants of one section of the flume .where it crossed the Bear River near the mouth of Mill Creek. John Q. Public Likes This One thing that really pleased your DFE was the new sanitation facilities that have been constructed by the Forest Service at major recreaiton areas along the Mirror Lake road.

Utahns are really going for the campgrounds and other recreation facilities developed along the Bear River headwaters. Bob Hansen, ranger on the Evanston District, told your DFE that all campgrounds were filled during the July 4th '.weekend. THE NORTH UINTA streams are still running high and somewhat roily, but they can be fished with bait or spinners. The ! upper Bear looked better than any of them. And down at the Kamas hatchery, the boys reported they trout left to put in the streams. . have plenty of catchable-sizThe DFE never gives secrets away, but he can report that 'a truckload of trout went into the East Fork of the Bear at .midweek. e TOP QUOTES: Unless conservationists learn how to cope with threats to wildlife, we will see these fragile resources .sacrificed in a maelstrom of a complex modern society that whirls satellites about this globe with greater success than it can move baby salmon safely downstream through the depths of a reservoir.
