Show Sunday, June 6, 1971 By CASEY BOWN Fishing Is Expected To Get Much Better Thefishing is looking up after an opener which saw conditions ranging frem damp to soggy to downright cold and miserable over mostof the state. Mostfolks who stayed with it caught some fish but there were a host of others who packed up the gear and headed for home. Your scribbler chose to spend opening morning hours at the new Starvation Reservoir near Duchesne. Fishing pressure waslighi, 71 boats out and 334 shore anglers, at our count about 8 a.m. before the first storm struck. Here the fishing wasfair both from shore and boat with the rainbow running an averageeleven inches or about three to the pound. Fish size and fishing will be better at Starvation as the season goes along. It should be an especially fine place for a family outing and the kids to fish from the shore. And though permanent campertrailer facilities are yet to be built our state park and recreation people have placed comfort stations and garbage cans around the lake at most access points. Take your own drinking water. Midday we movedon to Big Sand Wash Lake ten miles north of Bridgeland off Hiway 40. There waslight fishing pressure here with most folks happy with the returns when the weather would allow and there were many fish taken in the poundageclass. Then we went to Pelican Lake near Randlett where only a dozen anglers were having fast fishing for bass and crappie. If you like casting for these warm waterspecies this one should be at its best for the next thirty days. Then we went to Steinaker Lake just north of Vernal wherea fair sized crowd, weather permitting, were creeling rainbow from fifteen to eighteen inches in length. This is a stop to rememberfor those going the Flaming GorgeDiamond Mountain way through Vernal. Evening stop,still rain and cold, found us at the Green River as it leaves Flaming Gorge Dam. John Varley,fishery biologist, was there wherehe had beenall day checking creel success of about one third the crowd of last year who walked down river and back for their fishing. Success here was much better than the opening day a year ago as it figured to about a fish an hour averageper angler. There washail that night and then snow on the ground as we moved around Flaming Gorge Lake and found mighty few anglers willing to face the weather. Most who did found the fishing slow and many were leaving to return when the sun mightshine, We stopped at Strawberry on the way home where our wildlife resources people reported “foul weather butfine fishing when people could get out.” Some12,000 native trout spawners were in the Clyde Creek holding pens and nearly four million eggs have been taken to date. Another four million will be taken to fill the needs in lanting this species in water over the state fore these beautiful fish are trucked back to the lake. One thing we observed and were happy to see wherever we traveled was that the fishing folks everywhere weretaking care of their litter with very few exceptions. In at least two places of exception folks still there were cleaning up litter left by a few thoughtless people who do not seem to care whether they continue fo go fishing or not. Let’s hope the law enforcement officers catch up with these few and houquets here to all who made this one of the cleanest openings on record. From the reports coming in we wouldlist the following among the top spots worth the fish visit. South to north they are Baker, Lower Bown, Mill Meadow, Fish Lake, Joe’s Valley, Strawberry, East Canyon and Echo. There are somereal good smallerstillwaters along the way and streams worth the looksee from the Fremont to the Logan. And don’t forget the Steinaker stop out east. If there is any pus to the opening weekend weather it would be the fact that the reduced chancesto take them means morefish to catch currently. Yoursfor fun, Casey pitched a steady game for Orem and Provo had plenty of back up pitching in Law,Scott Atkinson aad Norton. Provo tallied twice in the second inning to take an early lead, added a run in the third for insurance. After Orem scored in majority of their top raked high the fourth Provotallied once in school teams as the nucleus for the difth and finished up with two this year’s Legion teams and runs in the sixth. they will be hard to stop. Adams Spanish Fork downed in the fourth and twoin thesixth. Orem threatened again in the top of seventh as Cloward had trouble finding the plate, but a double play by the Provuinfield the threat, and Cloward settled down for the third out. Both Provo and Orem havethe Pleasant Grove on the Grove Field Mondayby a 97 score to win its first game in spite of loss of some anticipated pitching strength. Pleasant Grove iost Parke Hanser with ancther injury, but have picked up some players and should provide competition this year in Legion play. and won 86 on some good pitching ty Sam Giles and Tom Daniels.
