State conducts fish census on Provo Next Saturday, if all goes well, the division will again be conducting census work up near the railroad trestle. While I watched last Saturday I jokingly asked what the limit was while fishing in this fashion? One enthusiastic division worker said without a second's hesitation, "All you can get." Thompson's only complaint - not enough volunteers. So if you really want to get your feet wet for a good cause.'here's you charce. By GARY BEST Last Saturday Charles Thompson and a number of other Division of Wildlife Resources personnel, aided by the Provo Fly Fishing Club, conducted a fish census on a quarter mile section of the Provo River. Thompson is head of the Utah County Fisheries. In 1975 the division discontinued stocking the upper Provo River between the Olmstead Diversion Dam and Deer Creek Reservoir. In 1978 when the division checked the same quarter mile section they noticed an increase in the number of Brown Trout, however, there was no increase in size. After the 1981 census met with much the same results, the division decided to try further measures to make the upper Provo a first class wild trout fishery. During 1981 the division im-plemented a two-fis- h limit on fish under 13 inches long on this section of the river. All Brown trout larger than that must be returned to the river unharmed. In 1982 when they went back to estimated population weights and measures, they found the numbers about the same but with a slight decrease in the number of small fish. Mr. Thompson said they checked a quarter mile section last Saturday with just slightly over 800 fish being weighed and sexed. The largest was a three-poun- d Brown. They also netted ap-proximately 12 Rainbows and about twice that number of white fish. Thompson said that the 1985 figures are not yet complete, however, it appears there are more fish in the 15-1- 6 inch range this year. Over the next three years the division plans to increase their population and creel census work. Monitoring will continue throughout the winter months. This year the division plans to plant 20,000 catchable Rainbows from the Olmstead Diversion Dam downstream. Since the division stopped planting above this point in 1975 there has been an increase in Brown Trout in the lower Provo below the Olmstead Dam, im-proving the fishing in this section of the river as well.

First place winners for the Lady Vikes were Lila Fugal in the high hurdles, high jump and long jump; Debbie Fisher, 100, 200 and 400 meters; Christine Lutes, discus.
