Show 1013 Emery County Ou hfMj's Tuesday December 5, 2000 UU FISHING Fisherman urged to leave a few splake in the lake any one day and to possess no more than two splake. No splake between 15 und 110 Inches in length can be harvested. Some people are party fishing, which means harvesting e more that the bag limit and giing some fish away. They do this so that they dont possess more than two fish, and also to help others achieve their bag limit. Berg cautions that party fishing is illegal. Lieutenant Mike Milburn adds that, donating fish cannot be done in the field. Fish may be donated only when done at the primary residence of the donor or recipient. A written statement of donation must be kept with the fish, stating number of fish and species, date of donation, license number of the donor, and signature of donor." Other people are forgetting that fish at home in the freezer are included in their possession limit. They need to remember that if they already have two Joes Valley Reservoir splake at home, they can t harvest any more. Fish should be eaten or taken to a Joes Yu! ley Reservoir has been exceptionally Full fishing ul good. Although Division of Wildlife Resources Regional Aquatic Manager Louis Berg is pleased about the excellent angling, he is also worried. Unprecedented numbers of large splake are being removed from the lake, and these predatory fish are needed to provide biological control of a problem-causin- g Utah chub two-splak- population. Berg urges anglers to think twice about harvesting big splake. These chub-eatin- g ma- chines may be the reservoirs best hope for having a successful trout fishery. Burgeoning numbers of Utah chubs are eating rainbow trout out of house and home. Because there is too much competition between rainbows and chubs for food, the average size, condition, and numbers of rainbows have perilously declined. If anglers remove too many large splake, they may be giving nuisance chubs the green light. Berg reminds anglers that it 5 years for Joes Valley Reservoir to grow a trophy-siz- e splake. The large, vulnerable fish people are removing now cannot be replaced for many years. To add to Berg's concern, he has been getting reports of anglers exceeding the splake bag and possession limit, and even wasting trophy fish. Current fishing regulations allow anglers to harvest no more than two splake in takes Wrestling Meet Emery wrestlers went to the Carbon meet Friday and Saturday and came away with a second place finish overall 10-1- taxidermist before more are kept. And feeding the family cat just isn't a proper use of trophy-siz- e fish. Berg said it is his hope that conservation-minde- d fishermen will exercise restraint in the harvest of lunker splake. thus helping biologists control the chubs and preserve the trout fishery.
