Quarter Million Fish Planted in Uintah County 1931
A report by Jay Larson, head of the White Rocks hatchery, states 170000 fish were planted in Uintah County streams and lakes during the past year, averaging three to five inches. An additional 6000 fish came from the Springville state hatchery and 35000 eggs from Yellowstone government hatchery. County Warden Ed Oaks oversaw the planting with Vernal Gun Club leaders Militon Hacking and Frank Briddeway assisting, along with others who distributed fish to remote county waters. The dry season is not expected to affect fishing, and 1932 is anticipated to be one of the best years for Ashing in some time.
