Normal Trout Plant Assured in Utah Waters 1958
Near record numbers of trout will be placed in Utah waters during 1958 the department of fish and game said. Present plans indicate upwards of eight million trout of all sizes will go into the state's streams and lakes. Approximately two million of these will be seven inches in length or larger. The balance will be fry and fingerling. The planting season is now getting underway in streams and still water areas which will be unaffected by heavy runoff waters preparatory to the June 7 opener of the general season. The season continues through Nov. 15. Department spokesmen noted that all waters will receive normal plants of trout this year. Planting will continue through the season until Labor Day.
