Show Utah Accepts Fish Gifts According to M. J. Madsen, one fish tank will leave in late Sept. 'for Iowa, where 200 adult white bass are to be obtained. Most of these fish will be planted in the Yuba Dam Reservoir, in an attempt at-tempt to make another of Utah's reseervoirs worthwhile for sport fishing. Another of Utah's fish tanks will leave for New Mexico, to accept ac-cept a gift of 100,000 blue gills. These blue gills will be placed in the Clear Lake Migratory Waterfowl Water-fowl Bird Refuge. Although the blue gill often reach a pan size, one of the main objectives in placing this large plant in this section, is that they might become forage fish for the black bass that already inhabit these waters. The planting o'f the blue gill is preparatory pre-paratory for the building of the bass hatchery, contemplated in the section. The white bass comes to us as a gift from the- Stale of Iowa, and the blue gills aie being furnished fur-nished free by the Fish and Wildlife Wild-life Service. |
