"There are some big ones right there in them thur hills, I told Stein, pointing to the ridge which separates Park City from Brighton. You got to be kidding he said in his slight Norwegian English. I havent got to be kidding, I told Stein. There are some lunkers laying in those lakes and at the time I sensed Stein believed he was listening to an old crank telling about the monsters of Loch Ness, or the Bear Lake beast. Found the proof Looking through the files the other day I came upon the proof that in some of the Wasatch waters there have been fish of some size. It was a picture of this reporter mackinaw which, with Lynn Hansen holding a and Merrill Hand, some years back, was lured from Lake Mary, not many miles from where the Park City lift ends. nine-poun- d There should be more from whence this monster came. this being the That day we caught several whoppers would have fed he if And been well this fish had largest. been 40 to 50 pounds according to his age and headsize. I should warn Stein that he wont get them on the evening rise for dry flies. Macks like their meals served in fillets. If he can finu a fly that makes like a mackerel his chances will be better. Anyway, this picture substantiates some of the fish tales we offered Stein about his Wasatch area that day. Anyone caught a bigger beast than this in Lake Mary, or Twin Lake, or any other in the Alpine waters of the Wasatch ?

Feb. 22, Park City Ski Resort vice president and general manager penned the following to Major Jensen: Dear Major Jensen: Although you may not know, there has been considerable news coverage of your return to your country and home in Salt Lake City recently. You mentioned upon your arrival in the United States that one of the first things that you wanted to do was to go skiing. On behalf of the manager of he Park City Resort, we would be very honored to have you ski with us as our guest at the resort for the remainder of the 1973 ski season. I look forward to meeting you. d outdoors Manti Mountains new moose have not wandered far from their release site, according to Rodney John, biologist in charge of the Wildlife Resources transplant project. John said that according to an aerial survey, 11 of the 17 relocated animals were seen, within a mile radius of the mouth of Fish Creek Canyon where they were turned loose the last week in January. John added that the moose appeared to be in good condition. Radio transmitteres were attached to four of the transplanted animals before their release. Young and old animals of both sexes wear these transmitters and are now being monitored. This will enable biologists to determine which age and sex is least likely Jo migrate from the release site and is best for reloor future cating in follow-u- p moose transplants. i I plan devote lot of my sparetime to working with underprivileged kids.

Those anglers enduring the cold and the thick ice are reporting token success, reports Wildlife Resource Division officer Paul Madsen. Utah Lake, with 18 inches of ice, has had little traffic though some anglers have reported taking trout from the Jordan River near Riverton. Anglers are reminded that their 1972 angling license is good until April 15. A new license will be available the first part of April, Madsen reports. Anglers without a 72 license must purchase one if they plan to fish before April. i I brought it back to the boat where Coffey netted it. There was a hole in the net. Down into the water it went.
