Show EXTEND THE SEASON idaho is recognized as the greatest fishing paradise in the united states iler her streams literally teem with trout and other delectable members of the finny tribe and sport ment from all parts ot of the nation flock to that state at all seasons of the year to enjoy the sport of catching the wary fish ish up in idaho the fishing season lasts eleven months of each year april being the only month exempted and during that month the fish go up to the head waters of the streams and deposit their eggs before the high water comes the state law prohibits the catching of trout and other fish during that one month only and grants to all the residents the privilege of fishing during any one or all of the other eleven months by paying the usual license tax the result of 0 this is that idaho citizens have all the fishing they want so much so in fact that they do not abuse tile the privilege but simply fish when their appetites suggest that a mess would be appreciated there is no sitting up all night before the law opens up there in order to be the first to cast a line in the water at peep 0 o day they dont need to do that for after enjoying the experience for eleven mouths hs the people are glad to rest one month it if this arrangement works in idaho and we repeat again that idaho streams furni furnish sli the best fishing of a any U y in the entire nation why would not such an arrangement be good tor for utah in this state we are limited to six months of the sport and trout taste just as good in january as they do in june they lay their eggs in april and after that all they have to do is to eat and elude the fisherman sherman fl they might just as well be angled for in february and march as in june and july nearly everybody likes to fish and hunt even though the great majority of people make no pretensions whatever of being sportsmen would it not be a good thing for more of the common people to take a greater interest in the framing of th these ese laws that affect everybody alike than they do and not leave it entirely to that class that makes a sort ot of profession of it the extension of 0 the fish ing season for trout to cover eleven months of the year with the provision against taking small ones would not work any more hardship on the fish than just six months of open season it is questionable if any more fish would be taken from the streams either for a person can become surfeited on fishing even and the quickest way to bring that about is to grant him the privilege of casting his line whenever he desires wanton avi t of fish and game should be punished in the most severe manner but the exercise of the privilege to fish and hunt should be made just as broad as possible if the common people desire these things they may have them for rem ember the people are the sovereign |
