The (iaette-Times. Heppner, Ore, I'i'i ,!, 'i.. i' II I I I v . Angling The angling year gets off to its "official" beginning with opening of the general trout season on Saturday, April 23. Although drought conditions forecast for the latter part of the summer may ruin much late-season fishing, the pros pects appear very good for the early season. With some exceptions, wa ter conditions are good and many streams normally high and roily early in the year are in good shape for fishing due to reduced rainfall this winter. The streams in northeast Oregon remain closed until May 21. There are other opening day exceptions and a few regu lation changes from last year, so anglers who have any question about which waters open April 23 should, consult the 1977 angling synopsis. A copy may be obtained free wherever angling licenses are sold. Although an attempt has been made here to accurately summarize conditions around the state, this information is subject to considerable change depending on the weather conditions in the two weeks leading up to the open ing. NORTHEAST REGION Most streams remain closed to angling until May 21 in the Northeast Region. Jubilee Lake opens on April 23 but it is unlikely access will be possible until late May. Then angling should be good for small trout. The lake is drawn down about 10 feet below normal for spillway re pairs. Kegler's Korner Fiesta Bowl rolled past Peterson's with four wins and watched Morrow County Grain Growers and Gardner's split Tuesday. The action left Fiesta Bowl with a six game lead in Kegler's Korner. Fiesta Bowl rolled a 945 high game and a 2630 high series. Phyllis Cole, MCGG, took high honors with a 218 high game and a 525 series. Jackie All stott of Coast-to-Coast rolled a 201. Judy Rickert picked up a 5-8-10 split.

Park open Anson-Wright Park is of ficially open for the season, according to park caretaker Tom Huston. The park, located approxi mately 25 miles south of Heppner on Highway 207, was developed in the late 1950's and early 1960's and has become a favorite spot for area residents, tourists and elk hunters. Ponds open year around but which will be stocked prior to April 23 include Tatone, Mc Nary, Hat Rock, and Weston ponds. In the John Day Basin, ice is rotting and may break up by opening day at Bull Prairie Reservoir. Angling should be good when the ice is gone. The same situation exists at Ma gone. There is snow in the campgrounds at both lakes but it could be clear by opening weekend. Bates Pond will be stocked if the ice goes out as expected. Canyon Meadows Lake and Rowe Creek Reservoir both are at low level and won't be stocked unless they get more water. Wineland Lake has been stocked with rainbow trout as have small ponds on the John Day Valley floor including Dollarhide, Carpen ter, and Long Creek ponds.
