Show Walleyed Pike Planted Here Yuba Reservoir, Utah Lake, and the Lower Sevier River Drainage in the Delta district received Initial In-itial plantings of Walleyed Pike fry during the past week. Each water is the new home of about 300,000 of these small game fish Supplemental plants of 250,000 Walleyed fry were also made during dur-ing this same period in each of the three reservoirs where this species was originally planted in Utah last year; namely, Echo, Pine View, and Hyrum Reservoirs. These fish were processed at the State Hatchery in Kamas from the two million eggs recently received re-ceived from New York. M. J. Hadsen, Supervisor of Fisheries Fish-eries for the Utah Fish and Game Department, said, " Those new plantings of Walleyed Pike have been made in an attempt to introduce intro-duce this 'fine game fish into some of our biologically intermediate intermed-iate waters that have not previously previ-ously been producers of amy appreciable ap-preciable numbers of game fish. The Walleyed Pike is one of the most sought after of all the North American game fish. He is sporting sport-ing to catch and of good 'flesh. We have high hopes that the recent re-cent plants of these fish will prove successful." |
