EIOHT MEDfOHP (OKEGOW) Southern Reported Br Harry Chlpman , Fishing prospects in southern Oregon are the best than at any :ime in the past four years in he opinion of those who fish the many lakes and streams of the famous Rogue river valley. Old-timers say that good year of fishing comes every four years and that the 1950 season should be a good one. Anglers have returned home with empty or near-empty creels for the past three years but are getting their equipment ready for a busy time when the season opens on May 1. Deeper Snow In Hills Deeper snow in the hills as a ' result of an unusually hard win ter will. mean a better run-off in the Rogue river, thus provid ing high water r a longer period of time to enable the fish to get up the stream. An unusu ally heavy run-off of near-flood proportions would nullify this, but there is no reason at the present time to believe this will happen. Fishing at Diamond lake Is ex pected to be better than in re cent years. , A re-stocking program, which was undertaken last year, is due to be started again as soon as possible this spring and a poi soning program to rid the lake of trash fish will continue. Bait fishing at the lake has been stopped but trollcrs are expect ed to have little trouble getting their limit of rainbow trout. Reports from Lake O' Woods also indicate good fishing this year. The lake was stocked with 110,000 fingerlings last year and promises have been made to stock the water heavily with le gal sized fish this year, the fourth consecutive year that this has been done. Average On Fool Toward the end of last season anglers were averaging one foot in length for their catches, it was reported. A good fish trap has been In stalled at the head of the lake and more control is being taken on trash fish. A good planting of rainbow and eastern brook trout was made at Fish lake last year and another has been promised for early spring. Better results with bigger fish are expected than at any time in the past few years, those familiar with the lake claim. A hard winter generally means an early spring which would go a long way to aid game birds. With an early spring, birds would nest early and in many cases birds would nest twice in stead of the usual once in an or dinary spring. This would mean from 20 to 24 birds to a hatching instead of the usual 10 or 12. Floods Not Common Floods in the southern Oregon area are highly uncommon and practically no high water to flood nests is expected at this time. Although there was an un usual amount of snow in the val ley this year, it did not last long enough at any one time to seri ously affect feeding of game birds, It is believed. While there has been some loss to deer due to lack of nat ural feed in the mountains, it is not believed to seriously af fect the count. The greatest toll of deer occurred among young fawns of last year which did not have the necessary strength to buck the snow drifts, many dy ing of exhaustion and exposure.
