These will be the first native fish raised at the hatchery during the past five or six years, and is surely good news to the sportsmen sports-men of the Uintah Basin. The eggs, 615,600 in grand total tot-al were in splendid shape and should produce an abundance of splendid fish as it is a well known fact that the Whiterocks hatchery is one of the best native na-tive trout producers in the entire en-tire west. Director Madsen will be in the Basin for several days next week directing the work on eight new rearing ponds at the hatchery hatch-ery which will be just a starter of an enlarged rearing and holding hold-ing pond project which has been recommended by the state Fish and Game Commission and which will be carried out dur- J ing the remainder of the year.
