A MfClar Hntuft I,ra4lcat Nairn 3 Lakes Back In Production Portland Coastal anglers will have three additional lakes to try their luck on opening day, April 25. These waters are Lost, Earhart, and Georgia lakes located south of Florence between Siltcoos and Tahkenitch lakes. All of these lakes will be back in trout production this year following experimental toxaphene tests by the game commission during the past year. The lakes are the first in Oregon to be successfully treated with this new chemi cal. The lakes were chemically treated in February of 1958, each with different concen trations of toxaphene to de termine lethal amounts on fish as well as plankton, bot tom organisms, and other fish foods. Many tests were made throughout the year using live fish to determine the longevity of the chemical in each body of water. Chemical properties of the waters were recorded before, throughout, and after the treatment. In January of this year, the lakes were restocked with equal numbers of cutthroat and rainbow trout in each body of water. The trout aver aged five to the pound which would put them in the 8-inch class. Each lake received about 200 fish per surface acre of water. Tests will con tinue throughout the summer to determine which species of trout gives the greatest return to the angler. $100 will go toward one day's play and S100 toward overall three-day honors, making S300 of the prize money apply to total three-round scores. Pros Named Amateurs will vie for best ball, net and gross merchan dise prizes.
