Many streams are lower 2nd clearer than usual for this lime of year and higher than normal water temperatures nave also been noted in many areas all factors which should improve the odds for the angler. A complex set of angling regulations is the product of mixed resident trout, migra tory species, and warm-water game fish often sharing the same waters. This means yarying length limits, bag limits, open waters, tackle restrictions, and other regula tions in differing areas of the state. ' ( The following is a summary of opening weekend prospects or the northeast region streams. 'Although Jubilee Lake opens on April 22, access is un likely until late May.

The Cards jumped on top early in the game, scoring three runs in the first and two more in the second. lone runs in the opening frame came on singles by Treve Peterson and Robin LaRue followed by a Blue Devil error which scored Peterson and a two-run homer by Kevin McCabe. It was McCabe's third round-tripper in as many games for the Cards. McCabe also went all the way on the mound in what coach Del LaRue called "a very well-pitched ballgame'V McCabe recorded eight strike outs and gave up only four earned runs. ' Lack of depth and exper ience, especially in the mound crew, have hurt the Cards all year, LaRue said, noting that the entire infield is manned by freshmen. McCabe is the only Card with any varsity exper ience. Last Friday, lone dropped both ends of a doubleheader at Arlington by 6-4 and 16-3 scores. In the first game, lone scored a pair of runs in both the fourth and fifth innings SPORTS LOG FOR GOVERNOR Peck Bo 4010 Lexington Good numbers of brook trout are also available.
