Off hand this may sound like a rathersilly question, except that manyanglers still think most of the trout they catch are the result of natural reproduction. Actually, the opposite is true today since the great share, probably more than 90 percent are processed from egg to planting size in the nT production hatcheries operated by the division of fish and game. Early settlers in Utah soon found that they were running ¢t of fish. The only trout in those days was the native cutthroat and, except fer Bear, Utah, Fish, and Panguitch lakes, they were found in the free flowing streams. Increasing fishing pressure, dams, diversions into canals, and early stream pollution were the causes for what was then called an alarming condition With the advent of the railroads here everything from king salmon to eel were brought in as the effort to save the disappearing fishery began. It was during and sivce this period that the rainbow, brown, brook, lake trout and golden were added to our trout as we know them today. It readily became apparent to the oldtimers this early effert was not enough. Only a few years after statehood in 1899 the first state hatchery wasestablished at Murray, with other early hatcheries being constructed at Panguitch and Fish lakes. During those eariy years in our history it was established that Mother Nature could not Baseball Looks Like Springville's Top Spring Sport By WENDEL: RIGBY outfield; Jeff Preston,first base. looking fretty good at Herald Sports Writer Two sophomores, Phil Ollerton, Springville if Coach Elliott SPRINGVILLE — Springville backup catcher; and Steve Jordan can get some imRed Devils have one of their Weight, outfield, are also provementin a few spots which most outstanding baseball! making bs currently are pretty teams in a number of year on the Track and field prospects are He feels weak in the pole vault, campus, and hopes are high for both Regicn and State recognition.

Thus the hatcheries as we know them today. The very limited natural production now comes from native trout in our cold, smaller streams, brownin a few streams, and mackinaw or lake trout in Bear and Fish lakes. From the scores of man madelakes we take a major share of the trout and there 3 but limited natural reproduction from these. Great share of the trout we catch now come from the average 20 million eggs processed at these state hatcheries. More than half of these are purchased on bid from commercial hatcheries both in and outside the state. Present cost of these eggs each year is some $32,000.00. Other major source is the 6 to 8 million eggs, mostly native cutthroat, taken from brood stocks in ovr own waters by the fish and game folks. One small brood stock of kamloops rainbow at the Kamas hatchery produces about a million eggs each of the last several years. An average two million of the rainbow trout are raised to an average 10 inches for planting each year as “catchables”’ in the heavierfished, less productive waters. The balance are planted at the rry on throughthe various fingerling sizes depending upon both fishing pressures and the ability of each water to producefish flesh. One exceptionis the airplaneplant of some 200 off-the-road high country lakes, mostly in the Uintas, where economics dictate planting only the fry or smatl fingerling. The answerthenis that nearly every trout we catch today had a beginningin a hatchery. From there, by truck or plane, they go into our waters and are often scattered by dipnet or pianting barges in lake and stream. Ouronly other native gamefish species, the whitefishes, are still common to many of our streams even though they have had no stripping and hatchery life to sustain them over the years. Most probable reasonis their adaptability to change and lack of angler interest in muchelse than trout. Warm water species, the basses, walleye, crappie, channel catfish and others are pretty muchself sustaining once they are established in a water. Most of these reproduce in stillwater without benefit of streams in which to spawn. Somereplants and new plants are made from eggs purchasedout-of-state. A major shareof our license dollars goes into this fish production program. Without the programthere would be little fishing as we know it today. Production techniques are improving all the time, like from horsemeai to a balanced diet in dry foods, to make the fishing future a bright one. FromLogan to Panguitch there is a hatchery nearby. Thisis the »o7k production season and a primetimefor avisit to anyof them if your in- terest is fishing. Great place to take the ee youngsters too. Yours for fun, Casey Need a Truck?
