Show Uintas sport good fishing Lakeside Review, Wednesday, September 9, 1987 amti MMiax ajs When scenery and backpacking are mentioned in the same sentence with fishing, most Utahns would probably think the area tinder discussion is the High Uinta mountains. ! The mountain range has always been a beautiful place to backpack, but modern fish management techniques have made it possible for increasing numbers of sportsmen to find success at the end of their line as well as breathtaking vistas along the path. : Geographically, the range is unique. It is the only major range in the lower 48 states to lie t. It contains Utahs highest point. Kings Peak at 13,528 feet above sea level and most of Utahs major rivers the Duchesne, Provo, Weber, Uinta and Bear originate on its GROUND ; 30 COVERS east-wes- snow-cover- ALL FERTILIZERS CloseOut On Pony Pak OFF Tulips Daffodils 08 MULCH Creeping Jenny Bronze Ajuga Potentilla Verna BULBS PANSIES 2.5 cu. ft.

In 1955, Utah began the first of three fishery studies on the High Uinta Mountains. The first study resulted in mapping the lakes and initiated an experimental stocking program. Stocking was done both by horseback and, for the first time, by airplane. The second study, started in 1971 and completed in 1979 on the south slope, looked at fish populations, habitat and potential management scenarios. The Division of Wildlife Resources updated data from the first study, checked fish reproduction and recommended appropriate management changes. The third study began on the south slope in 1981 and continues to date. Its purpose is to look at the fish from a management .GREG'S GARDEN 315 N. Main o Kaysville 546-361- 7 perspective. The Northeastern Region manages about 400 of the High Uinta lakes. A short study season limits fisheries biologists to one drainage per year. Biologists study 5 lakes a 35-4- summer, setting overnight nets so they can look at the fish populations. A single netting can tell the trained observer about fish density, growth rates, age class distribution, general health and the success of natural reproduction. By looking at the fish, the biologists learn about the condition of the lakes, what the lakes can support, and what kinds of habitat problems exist. Generally, the findings have Been positive. Most lakes have some natural reproduction and some are capable of maintaining ia healthy fish population without 'support Stocking rates are being fine tuned by comparing fish health, the physical condition of the lake, angler pressure and the natural Reproduction rates. Higher lakes with shorter 'growth seasons and slight fishing 'pressure are stocked to maintain 150 fish per surface acre. Lower, ;more productive lakes with heavier angler pressure are maintained with densities to 150 fish per surface acre. ; ; Aerial stocking is done in cycles of one to five years depending on location, angler pressure and fish growth. ; The third phase study is also looking at increasing fishing diversity for anglers. Most of the jakes have been traditionally stocked with cutthroat and brook trout. I Biologists are looking at other strains of these fish that are native to the Uintas. They are looking at lakes to stock with golden trout and grayling to give anglers a variety of species. ; To help anglers decide where and how to fish the lakes of the High Uintas, the Division of Wildlife Resources has produced series titled, Lakes a Uintas. the of High The booklets sell for $1 each and describe the sizes, elevations and depths of the lakes, what fish species are stocked, and information on trails and camping. These booklets are available at the Division of Wildlife Resources offices in Salt Lake City, Ogden, Vernal, Price and Cedar City. let Spri-ngvill- 235-75R-- i.ee 8.73SR-16.3950R-16.5- 23 385E-- LUBE, OIL & FILTER : MUFFLERMf r CATCH " Cars tyPirg Sept.24, 1987 Avo;I.
