Oregon anglers take to the road Sat.

- Although most areas of the
State are primed for an April
22 fishing season opening,
anglers in northeast Oregon
will have to keep their lines
dry until May 20. Still, the
bregon Department of Fish nd
Wildlife has rated water
conditions around the state as
('jenerally excellent and many
akes not normally accessible
on opening weekend due to
snow will be hosting anglers
this year because of a mild
winter and light snow pack.
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. Angling
then should be good for trout
although the average size is a
bit small. The water level is
somewhat below normal.
Ponds which are open year
around but which will receive
. plants of trout prior to April 22
inclde Tatone, McNary, Hat
Rock, and Weston ponds.
Most lakes and ponds in the
John Day Basin should pro
vide good angling for the
opening weekend.
Dollarhide Pond near Mit
chell, Carpenter Pond near
John Day, Long Creek Pond at
Long Creek, and Bates Pond
at Bates are all open and will
be stocked with pan-sized
rainbow trout by the April
opener.
Rowe Creek Reservoir is
approximately one-third full
and will provide angling early
in the season. Six thousand
trout will be stocked in the
reservoir during April.
..Wineland Lake will be
stocked with 2,500 catchable
trout in April. Good popula
tions of largemouth bass and
bluegills are also available in
the lake.
Canyon Meadows Reservoir
is expected to fill and has a
fair population of cutthroat,
brook, and rainbow trout that
tarried through the winter. A
felease of legal-sized trout is
lot planned until May. The
toad to the reservoir is open;
Bowever, some snow still
remains in me campground.

The lone Cardinals opened
league baseball Tuesday at
Condon and were saddled with
their fifth straight loss, 8-5.
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
