Franklin county streams and waters are favorable for fish stocking. Ed Scholes notes continued stocking will boost sport fishing nationwide. The Franklin County Fish and Game Association reports 251000 fish planted last year and a planned 530000 this year. Bass and blue bucks thrive in Oneida reservoir. rainbow, trout, and cutthroats prosper in cold east streams. Pheasant hunting should be good with an increased quota, aided by breeding facilities at Malad with Oneida County.
