Show Planting of Fish Will Be Expanded A greatly expanded and "effi-ciencyized" "effi-ciencyized" fish planting progran will get underway this spring with the arrival of seven aeratoi motors, according to Director Ross Leonard, Utah Fish and Gamt commission. The motors are needed to complete com-plete the equipping of each state hatchery with its own planting outfit for the first time in history All 12 hatcheries now have planting plant-ing tanks, the Salt, Lake, Sprimg-ville Sprimg-ville and Midway establishment; boasting two each. Four ''of the tanks are permanently mounted or trucks, the others being smallei tanks than can be mounted and de. mounted from ordinary pick-uj trucks. Advantages of enabling everj hatchery to handle its own planting plant-ing are several-fold, Fisheries Superintendent M. J. M a d s e r pointed out. "First, it will take the close-ir planting pressure off our four- big trucks, enabling them to stock tht far corners of the state more frequently. fre-quently. Second, it will enable hatchery superintendents to planl when the time is ripe instead oi having to wait when the big truck are available. Third, it will permit per-mit instant rescue of stranded fish Fourth, the lighter pick-up trucks can reach more inaccessible areas.' The sum total is bound to be greatly improved fishing for the rank and file of Utah anglers this year, either periodically or permanently, per-manently, Madsen predicted. |
