DAILY HERALD THURSDAY, JANUARY 1953 Utah-County. Utah Winter Fishing Attracts Many New Anglers, Field Reports Indicate Roseman Named to Hecfd Sportsmen Associolion Full regulations covering the 1958 season may be ob-' talned, or read, at license vendors or from department headquarters, 1596 West North Temple Salt Lake If you, a hunter or fisherman, ever hav6 wondered about the worth of the game to the nation's economy beyond the unmeasureable values of the recreation and fun you may get from it, then here again are some figures you can get your teeth into. Some 80 million Americans last year expended three billion. dollars in pursuit of their recreation in these two fields. As one of them your contribution in dollars makes cently from open spring holes near the shores of Utah Lake.

The department advised anglers to go prepared to meet the winter weather, to exercise extreme caution when fishing any ice covered Stillwater now open to an gling, to know and observe the regulations governing their sport. winter creel vary from good to poor, Baits 6f various kinds have been most productive, flies ate taking both whiteflsh and trout from several Good catches have come from Scofield, Locomotive Springs and from Nine Mile Reservoir in Sanpete County. The reports also show that several catches of yellow perch have been taken re AMERICAN F.OmV The nevvly ejected, board of. the American Fork Sportsmen's: Associa lion enjoyed a banquet and meeting at the "101 ftajich. tnnM Highland last Friday evening.

Wayne Roseman was soleeted to be the. new president replacing Jack Allshouse, who had served for the past three years. Mr. Allshouse has been named by Governor George D. Clyde to represent the; sportsmen of the state on the Rig Game Board.

Mr. Roscnvan has been affiliated with the organization for the past two years. Vert C. Shoell, for three years a director, was named the- new vice president. Reth Carter was selected to be secretaKy-teasurcr.

Outriggers Permit 4 to Fish' A building interest in winter fishing is noted in field reports since the first of the year, the Utah Department of Fish and Game said today, Scofield Reservoir and other waters newly opened by the Commission to year around angling are attracting many new anglers to this cold weather activity. As is usual with any season, the reports covering -i. tout 'k 4. 4 1 1 you a member of that fraternity playing at the largest participant sport in the world. If you want a comparison with one other very fine and often talked of such sport we might compare the above figure, with the game of golf.

No reflection intended, but the facts show that nine of us fished andor hunted to each one playing the latter game. Food for thought for each of us in the foregoing. Just another of the many reminders in this column that our game is more than "big fun." It is BIG BUSINESS in sense of the word, business that contributes from a pour to a trickle into every firm and endeavor. Wihter Fishing Continues to Grow Winter fishing continues to grow in popularity here in Utah, with new year-around open waters added by the fish and game commission this year attracting many "new" anglers. There has been no mass migration to the hills common to the general opening each spring, but the combination of mild winter weather so far and many new waters is proving quite an attraction.

Whitefishing in the five streams opening December 1 to this type of angling has been neglected by most of us. This season continues on the Logan, Blacksmith, Weber, Duchesne, and Asay Creek streams until Feb. 15. Lee Colled ge called last week to tell of some success taking whitef ish from the Weber. He is one of only a few have contacted locally who are enthused about this type of angling.

Says they come to wet flies for him or not at all. Forty fishermen were observed on the lower Weber last Sunday. Many had fish. On the other hand, mention trout and more interest is shown immediately. Witness the crowds up Locomotive Springs way since Jan.

1, and many people out at Scofield Reservoir where they are willing to put up with weather anything but spring-like to fish through the ice. Stopped down Salem way during the week and Frank Davis told us some fine catches of good sized perch are now being taken from the spring holes near the shore at the south end of Utah Lake. Closer to home and this can be fun, too.

We never expect to see more than a small portion of the anglers out in the cold months that are out in the summer.

PRE-INVENT0RY Fish And Game Arrests Show Decrease During Past Year li REDUCTIONS UP TO 30 'All New Stock Nothing Marked Up' Lower Provo Gets Plant "Winter fishing on the lower Provo River should pijsrk up sharply following a plant made yesterday of some 3,000 rainbow spawing stock from the state's Springville hatchery. These fish, averaging two to the pound, are male rainbows surplus to the hatchery brook stock needs. Hatchery supeintendent J. D. Ford said, "Rather than hold and feed these excess large fish until spring the department felt it would be best to plant them now and at the same time add much to the pleasure of winfer fishing on the Jower Provo opened by the commission this year for full year angling." Only part of the Provo now open is that portion below the Geneva bridge and this is where the recent plants were made.

Ford reminded that all angling rules and regulations apply to fishing this water the same as they do in the general angling season. Don't Throw Away License "Don't throw away that license." This was the reminder issued again today by the Utah Department of Fish and Game. The fishing or combination license you now possess is good until April 16f 1958. With the advent of the 1958 fishing regulations and the increased number of waters opened to year arbund fishing, anglers were" asking license vendors for the new license issue. Department spokesmen noted that the 1957 license must be posseasetd and visibly displayed whenever afield until April 16, 1958.

Under Utah legislative law the fish and game license is set from April 16 through April 15 of the year following. Resident juveniles reaching the age of 12 years, or anyone having lost or destroyed 'their 1957 license, 'must purchase!

Each year an important prob-1 concerning conservation needs has been brought to the nation's attention through this program. This year in the face of increased demands by the American sportsmen for more recreational facilities, the theme to be highlighted is indeed timely. What Can Be Done The message telling what is happening and what can be done to help will be carried to all walks of life during this week. The story will be told through the press, radio, TV, talks to schools and organizations, and by picture and window displays as it is carried forward on both a state and local basis. National Honorary Chairman cf the Week this year will again be Walt Disney, internationally known for his work in, and support of, conservation programs.

A Sleeper is not nearly so successful. At least 10 milligrams per pound of body weight twice a day for three days will do the trick if it is going to work at all. Giving lesser doses is a waste of precious time. When dogs are more or less isolated there is little chance of contracting the disease, but there is still a chance that the passing stray dog or the occasional visitor may be a carrier, If a dog is to mingle with show dogs, uiing a common exercise ring, or overlap activities at field trials, it would be best that he be vaccinated. There is a vaccine and it gives protection, although it should be renewed yearly.

The inclination Is to pass up the additional trouble and expense until it gets close to home. Then it Is as likely to strike every dog on the premises almost simultaneously. i It is best to vaccinate, but if you don't, be sure to consider leptospirosis a possibility early in diagnosing any apparent illness.

Avenue and with the safety off, on the living room couch. The family pooch jumped up on the divan arid timed his jump jast as the young lady was. returning to the room from other businesses. The pooch's paw hit the trigger; the bullet from the .22 hit the young lady in a spot where it did her no good at all. We can hardly chastise the pup tor potting his mistress.

He didn'ti know the rifle, was loaded. And since the furiction of the rifle is a very simple one, to blow a bullet out of its barrel whenever its chamber is loaded and the striker permitted to fire the round when the trigger is moved by either dog, man or young lady, we can hardly put the bee on inaniminate wood and metal. What was the wounded young lady doing monkeying with the .22 in the house anyway? If she were cleaning it or otherwise inspecting the piece, did she load it and if so why? One place, after all, where there is no room for a loaded gun of any description is the family living room. Even assuming that it was loaded for a reasonably legitimate reason, as for example to take a potshop out cf the window at a chicken-chasing hawk or weasel, how come she hadn't put the safety at the "on" position? Every step of the way the damsel's procedure was nonsensical. That's the truth about the vast majority of such "accidents." He or she who dimwittedly pulls loaded guns off car seats or leaves them lying around the house, or tries to clean guns vhen they are loaded, is simply trading a hole In the head for another hole in the head.

Traditionally charted for the week in which the vernal equinox, or first day of spring occurs, this year's observance is slated for March 16-22. s-Dedicated to the preservation, advanced management and a greater public understanding of the important fish and game resources in the American way of fe, the weekly affair is sponsored each year by the National Wildlife Federation and its state affiliates. Sponsored by. Clubs In Utah, the Week will be sponsored by the State Wildlife Federation and its member clubs.

Need for such an observance to call public attention to the value and proper management of wildlife was first recognized 20 years ago. In 1938 the first National Wildlife Week was decreed by Presidential Proclamation. Leptospirosis Is By JOE STETSON NEA Doi Editor Forget about leptospirosis and it props its ugly head with dire results. Dog owners don't fear leptospirosis as they do distemper or infectious hepatitis. This is largely because the former is airborne, the latter carried by insects as well as by contact.

Leptospirosis usually requires intimate contact with infected dogs or their urine. An important factor in leptospirosis treatment is early diagnosis. A counter attack on the leptospira before they get into tLe bloodstream is usually effectivecertainly more so than later. Until someone comes along with something better and the veterinarian will hive the latest conclusive information giant doses of aureomycin are sucess-ful a large percentage of the time, time.
