Dont expect as many catchable trout in Idahos waters from now on. You can blame it on the high cost of hatchery fish food. 15-2- Same Situalion in Utah The Idaho commission has authorized a 45 percent cutback in poundage of catchable trout to be produced in the 1973-7- 4 season. The reduction was authorized after it was pointed out fish food costs have jumped from $9 91 per hundredweight to $19.79. That represented an increase of $200,000 over the amount budgeted. The situation is exactly the same in Utah. This writer forecast some weeks ago that some Utah hatchenes might have to be closed, at least temporarily, if food costs kept soaring. That hasn't developed yet, but it is still very much of a possibility. Montanas urought situation apparently hasn't had much impact on fishing around West Yellowstone. Our scout in those parts, Jim Danskin, reports good fishing from the shore in the evening on Hebgen. The gulper fishermen, Jim says, are taking good fish early in the day on small flies. The lower Madison, he says, has been good. Not many whoppers are being taken, but there is plenty of activity. He reports the Yellowstone River is very good for fly and spin fishing. Of course, you have to put them back between Lake and Upper Falls. The Madison and Firehole sre good in the park early and late m the day, but use small flies. What is a gulper trout? Well, those old whoppers cruise around the surface of a lake and gulp down the fly hatches. If youve got an artifical fly out there on the right spot at the right time, you catch yourself a "gulper." e Bow ns Reservoir is best from the west shore with cheese and eggs the best baits. Fish Lake Is fair for rainbow and macks with some limits on bait. Forsyth Reservoir is fair for brookies on cheese with some fly fishing on the north end. Gunlock has been fair for bass early and late. Puffers Lake is fair for rainbows Santa Clara River is best in the gorge.
