By DION HENDERSON So you think you know your favorite fishing lake pretty well? Maybe so But the chances are you know only one side of it— the top side And with a lake as with a lady you can’t always tell from the" way things look on the surface just what's going on ( underneath Any productive lake is quite a bit like an aquatic farm built In levels like an apartment build ing The crops that interest fish ermen grow largely on the upper stories If these levels and their fish residents remained constant everything would be simple for the fisherman But practically nothing is simple for the fisherman A lake changes from season to season and sometimes from day to day with temperature rain and other factors working on it Three Distinct Levels Loosely speaking there are three distinct levels in a typical fishing lake The upper is sunny rich in plankton and forage and usually with a warm even temperature because it gets stirred around by the wind This is where the fish generally hang out It’s called the epillmnlon Just below is a layer of cold water that hangs in the lake between the bright and active upper level and the dead depths For that’s what the bottom is largely It is cold and quite con stantly so and far enough from the surface so that the aquatic plants can’t practice their oxygen-makintrade On the other hand the trash of old vegetation and deceased lake residents drift to 'those levels and decay in a process that uses up what little oxygen is available Variety of Food Thus in the depths nothing to interest the fisherman The busy bottom life of the shallows with its enormous variety of insect stages and other small creatures is governed by the penetration of the sun This thermal stratification of yourfavorite lake is however sometime thing It changes And the fish that lurked in a foot or two 4of the top spring first warmed those waters to 60 degrees or so may be hugging the thermocline 20 feet sun-lov-i- g g ’ level-whe- down in mid-summ- n er Then there are the thermal currents which keep the water of the epilimnion circulating as the' temperature above changes The process itself is familiar enough to the householder with a heating problem: Warm water like warm air rises It stays risen until either it cools or until the water under it warms Then there’s circulation Substantial Swing In areas where there is a substantial seasonal swing of the outside autumn temperature - brings something the veterans call “the lake turning over” It’s a graphic description and just about accurate Surface waters cooled by nippy nights sink and the lower waters rise Then for a time there is big business for the fisherman as his quarry ranges happily through freshly circulated waters with generally distributed oxygen con- tent Individual lakes may have additional complications in their makeup A lake which drains another lake may have a density current of comparatively lifeless water cutting another level in it A shallow fertile lake may be livable — and fishable — all a the way down At any rate it helps to know what goes on beneath the surface Just knowing may not help you get along with either a lake or a lady but it may help you know why you don’t Utahns to Attend Fish and Game Event at Morgan Utah’s Fish and Game Commission and key department personnel will attend the annual meet- ings of the Western Assn of Game and Fish Commisioners June 15 16 17 18 this year Meetings will be held at Moran Wyo Commissioners and fish and game management officials will be in attendance from the 11 Western states and British Columbia in the 35th renew al of this important conference Theme of the conference this year will be “What is the place of wildlife in land and water development?” National conservation leaders will again be present to discuss this topic at the general sessions of the convention Several technical subjects will be covered by members of tlje Utah delegation during the four-da-y conference These meetings are considered vital in furthering enlightened fish and game management in Western America peratures of such weather-beate- n cities as New York or Chicago Can Live in Snow As a result animals can often survive in the snow and there are instances of sheep being buried for days in deep snow drifts and remaining alive Of course this is nothing new to Eskimoes — they’ve long made use of his “snow blanket” to build their winter homes I’ve been in some of their igloos and seen them maintain comfortable living indoors say at around 60 degrees (considerably warmer than most London theaters in winter) with only the aid of a very small fire while outside it was 110 degrees colder — that’s right 110 degrees because it was This remarkable trout originally was found in only one place in the world — the high Sierra Nevada Mountains of California Where had this fish come from?

As for the cold it isn’t the cold that humans and animals really feel it’s the windchill An Eskimo for example thinks nothing of dashing out of his igloo without a stitch of clothing even in the middle of winter to stop a dogfight just so there isn’t a wind But once the wind blows he’ll take proper precautions and first put on his loose clothing “Feel” the Air According to George H T Kimble who wrote “Our American Weather” (McGraw-Hill- ) it has been determined scientifically that the “feel” of air at 20 degrees Fahrenheit below zero moving at only 5 miles an hour is about the same as that of air 40 degrees warmer — at 20 above zero moving at 45 miles an hour In either temperature he says exposed parts of a normally healthy person are likely to freeze So important is the wind factor he added that calm air at 40 degrees Fahrenheit below zero is less likely to cause frost bite than air just below freezing point blowing at gale force!
