This is due to chub infestation in the reservoir. This years draw down will concentrate the fish into half of the ces fisheries biologist Glenn surface area, naturally improving the catch rate for boat fishermen. However, next year A 50 says Division of Wildlife Resour- Davis. The Bureau of Reclamation must draw down the reservoir this year so the State Highway the adverse effects of loss of production area will become evident. He explained that the shallows of a reservoir are its most productive area. Stocking plans for the reservoir this year call for one-ha- lf million inch rainbow three fingerling trout. These fish normally reach a 10 to 12 inch size by June of the following season. However, since only half the reservoirs production area will be available, the growth and survival rates will be The trout adversely affected. and chubs compete directly for food and space, and it is important that we keep the trout numbers up so the chub population will not have a void to fill, he said. The Strawberry River below the release site should not be harmed, Davis continued. However, affects may be beneficial for stream fishermen. The Duchesne is larger and has more capacity tor the increased flow. Department can repair the bridge which crosses it. Draw down is normal for other reservoirs, said Davis, but Star- vation has been held near capacity the last three years for the entire fishing season. The reservoir was built to store water for agricultural use in the northeastern part of the state, while other water from that area is diverted to the Wasatch Front as part of the Central Utah Project. Diversion has not yet begun, so the reservoir has not yet been fully utilized. The 37 vertical foot draw down of the reservoir will be accomplished by September 1. Shore fishermen will find the mudflats left behind messy and fishing will be best from boats. The boat ramp will remain in operation.

The estimated 75,968 pheasant hunters were the lowest recorded since harvest information collection began in 1948. Nish theorized the decreased number was due to a reduced bag limit of two birds and notice given to the public last year that bird numbers were down. Mourning doves lured 27,453 sportsmen afield, a slight decrease from 1972. They harvested a record 307,062 birds for a success average of 3.1 birds per hunter per day. There were 3,000 fewer hunters after chukar partridge in 1973 than 1972, but hunting was better, reported Nish. Hunters took 48,135 birds compared to 36,925 in 1972. "The harvest increase reflects improved production, Nish declared. He added that a lower bag limit accounted for reduced total hunter participation, but hunting was good enough to attract hunters back to the hills for an increased number of hunter-day- jjc jjc 9jcc )cdc jC3jC 56 )c )c 9( Forest grouse were the only birds that attracted more plea of not guilty.

Hunting success was similar to that in 1972 about 1 bird per hunter-day- . A reduced bag limit apparently influenced many quail hunters to stay home last fall. Nish said 5,654 sportsmen harvested 14,324 birds, or .8 birds per hunter-daThe quail hunt can be related to the pheasant hunt, said Nish, Before the trial Christensen reportedly moved to Washington. A warrant was issued for his arrest. Last month Division of Wildlife Resources conservation officer Eldridge Carter found Christensen fishing without a license at the American Fork boat harbor on Utah Lake. Christensen is currently being held in the Utah county jail pending payment of a $319 bail. y. as the same sportsmen generally pursue both birds. The same can be said for Hungarian partridge, he related, noting that 3,566 hunters took 6,014 huns, a reduction from previous years. A completion of the criminal tion. BAD HABITS Bad habits are hard to break. But keep at them, and you're bound to pay. At least thats what Kerry Christensen learned. Christensen, 349 E. 1655 S., Orem, was observed killing a cow moose last October on the Wasatch range east of Spanish Fork. A complaint was served and Christensen was taken before a local judge where he entered a possible civil suit of $1,000 and five year license revocation by the state are pending upon - itielrkirk'kicicH RUGBY CUUBf I PRACTICES Tuesday t & Thursday 6pm SUNDAY at NOON s.

Recently, however, this creative and useful craft has returned. Rug designs come in a wide range of designs and if you are creative, you can design your own rug. Several methods are used today to make rugs. The most popular are the Latch-Hoo- k and the Punch-Needl- e technique. Latch-IIook In the method, yarn is looped through a rug backing. It must be done in one direction only it cannot be worked from opposite directions. The pre-cyarn is looped through the rug and each is thread knotted individually.. The Punch-Needl- e rugs have a looped surface rather than loose yarns. For best results, Punch-Needshould be made on frames. The Punch-Needl- e g because the method is faster than threads to not have to be tied. PARK CITY 419 Main Street Office Hours 10am - ut le Latch-IIookin- CLEANING AND CARE should be dry cleaned.
