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.
