Prospects for 1956 pheasant crop reported favorable
The Department of Fish and Game issued a mid May forecast citing favorable hatch conditions and weather. Breeding populations remain at levels similar to the past two years, with normal fluctuations across localities and no evidence of skewed sex ratios. Underharvest of cocks noted in several areas, but overall good pheasant range conditions support strong nesting and farming season prospects.

Local Fishermen Have Good Luck In Feather River
Local fisherman John Harding and partners Telmo Bartolomie John Venturi and Lou Crane tagged limits of trout from the Feather River last weekend. They stayed at Caribou for a two day fishing trip with catches 13 to 24 inches, averaging about two pounds each, similar to last winter's yield. Counts across eleven areas show ample pheasant breeding and a recovering population in flood and nonflood zones, with notable concentrations at Butte Creek Gray Lodge Sutter Basin Natomas and Stanton Tyler Islands. By fall a fair bird population is expected and full recovery may occur within two to three years.

Reports of colored geese have come from Alberta and nearby observers as the birds head toward arctic breeding grounds. The program, in its second year, is part of the hunter safety program with participation from other organizations.
