(UPI) General Trout Angling Season Begins on Saturday, April 20 Portland - The angling sea son for trout opens Saturday, April 20, in the Rogue river and its tributaries above Laurclhurst bridge, Big Butte creek above Coblelgli ruad bridge, and Howard Prairie, Hyatt, Fish, Willow and Squaw lakes, the Oregon slate game commission reported. The minimum lengths lor Irout in these areas Is six Inches. Trout angling in Howard Prairie Is anticipated to be good to excellent, with a large carryover of larger trout. Poor Road Conditions Hyatt lake should produce some fine catches of trout. However, anglers may en counter some difficulty get ting in to the lake due to poor road conditions. The road in to Hyatt lake Irom the Green springs highway will be im passable, and the road from tile north end of the lake to the lodge is in very poor con dition. Some good catches should be made in Fish lake but snow conditions may chusc some access difficulties. Willow lake Is anticipated to be good for trout. Some Kokuncc have appeared in previous opening day creels. Barring an excessive amount of snowfall prior lo the open ing day, anglers should have no difficulty reaching the reservoir. Trout anglers should enjoy Kood success at Squaw lakes, but as of Wednesday road con ditions were such that only vehicles with chains or with four-wheel drive could get in. Edward Schwartz, fishery agent at Grants Pass, stated 1 that all lakes were slocked Waltonians Oppose Bill Seeking .cored on an error by Jul lo Annoin tmen t bv GoVCmOr of Gotay. lmJ:r , ...

The bill provides for ap pointment by Ihc governor of a director of natural re sources who would in turn appoint tlie administrator of Ihc fish and game division with the approval of the gov ernor. Under the bill, also, the administrator would ap point the chief of the bureau of fishery and the chief of game fish and animals, with the approval of the director of natural resources and the governor.

Secondary Conaideralion Waltonians, in the resolu tion maintained that a polit ically controlled bureau of fishery will be under pres sure by special interests to get the bureau to spend mur of the fund., lor work the fields where the commcr cial interests will be able to benefit from them. Sport iteelhead and salmon fisheries will get secondary considera tion, it v.-as claimed. Waltonians expressed the feeling that not only fish and game management may be detrimentally affected but alo management of other state natural resources would be subject to such control. The resolution declared that Oregon is famous for its sports fishing of salmon and stcclhead and not for its commercial fishery of this fish and that the economic value of stcclhead as sports fish far exceeds its value as a commercial fish. The chapter members also pointed out that the commer cial fishery has been unable to harvest stcclhead in the ocean and that commercial fishing is forbidden by slate laws in all of the streams of Oregon except the Columbia river They said that manage ment and regulation of steel- head and salmon resources fur the benefit of the greatest number of peo ple over the longest period of time. Administration of these nat ural resources In a manner which subjects the resources to unwarranted political pres sures could result in irrep arable damage, the Walton members slated They also brought out (hat the best fish and l' ,i i ; 1 1 ma M i M men 1 is m found in those states where the management Is furthest removed from political influence. heavily with fingcrling trout last summer and that these fish should now be six to eight inches in length. Stream anglers can expect only poor to fair fishing as the streams arc high, colored and cold. With the advent of warmer weather, angling should improve in these streams. Barring heavy snowfall, all roads in the Butte Falls area will be passable. Good success may be en countered at Selmac lake which together with Emigrant lake is open for fishing the entire year.

By United Praxt International "I'm turning back pitchers I would have loved to keep a year ago," Hawaii manager Irv Noren said when hu team wound up spring training. Noren must have kept the best of the bunch as Islander hurlers Ed Thomas and Jim McGIothlin testified Tuesday night in blanking the Salt Lake City Bees 1-0 and 2-0. An opening night crowd of 4,490 turned out to watch the pitching heroics as the two teams finally got down to business after rain forced the cancellation of their first three games. The first game was slated to be a seven inning affair but went into overtime be fore Hawaii's Bob Knoop doubled in the eighth frame and then scampered home with the deciding run on an infield error. Thomas scattered four hits in the opener in a duel with the Bees' Al Lary who allow ed only five. Knoop continued to solve stingy Salt Lake pitching in the nightcap as his needed to back up a seven hit shutout by rookie Jim McGIothlin. The promising 19-year-old righthander didn't allow a runner past second base. In other action around the league Tuesday night, Dallas Fort Worth thumped Seattle 6-3, Spokan edged San Diego 4-3, Tacoma upended Denver 6-2, and Oklahoma City swamped Portland 12-6. Jay Ward, Ray Jablonski and Sandy Valdestino chip ped in home runs to hand Ed Sado.wski the victory. Ward's two run blow was his fifth roundtripper in as many games. The veteran Jablonski hit his third fourmaster of the campaign. Sadowski survived a first inning home run by Seattle's Dalton Jones and a two run Rainier up-rising in the fifth, and then retired the last 13 batters to notch the win. Spokans rode the strong right arm of Joe Moeller lo defeat the Padres. The 21-year-old Moeller handcuffed San Diego with four hits. Dick Bernardino chased in the homer was all that was winning Indian run in the sixth with a booming double The Tacoma Giants advantage of a half dozen Denver errors to coast to their second win of the young sea ton. Ron Herbel allowed the butter - fingered Bears only five hits in going the distance. Oklahoma City erupted for j eight runs in the sixth inning j to bury Portland and take over sole possession of first place in the PCL's Southern division. Hawaii "00 100 10k 2 0 8 Sevfned.
