Trout Depletion Prompts Plan for Walla Walla River Planting
Mil ton-Freewater anglers urge 200000 fingerlings from Bingham Springs hatchery for the Walla Walla river after reports of depleted trout and poor fishing. Warden Glenn surveyed the river and noted irrigation ditches may conflict with a game commission rule barring allocations to open, unscreened streams. Local residents blame resident nonresident license fee shifts and overfishing on Umatilla county streams for declines, calling for favored home waters and possible restrictions on non residents.
