page : fifteen THE Trout Season Opens Saturday With Questionable Weather It’s trout fishing time again, and with the approach of tiie summer angling season, somewhere around 400,000 Oregon anglers are poised and ready for the big opening day Invasion of lakes and streams April 22. An excellent trout fishing season is predicted, not only for the opening but throughout the summer. In some areas, melt ing snow or bad weather could make the opening miserable or put streams out of condition for top fishing. The opening thrill will be dulled somewhat in a numtier of lakes and impoundments which remain open on a year-round basis, but even here ex cellent summer trout fishing Is expected. The following is a brief run down on some tried and true producers of trout. Not all are fool-proof, but If weather and water conditions cooperate, anglers should make some fine catches. We remind anglers also that the listing is far from complete, with many fine trout fishing waters available if fishermen wish to seek them out. Northeast As usual In northeast Oregon, stream fishing success will de pend on the spring runoff. Early season results are normally only fair because of cold water conditions or muddy from spring thaw. Stoc king northeast Homeowners!

Water conditions in the John Day drainage are very unpre dictable with the spring runoff generally underway in late April. However, if weather co operates there could be a spell of good fishing in most streams of the drainage. Some large trout should be available, but most will be in spawning con dition. In addition, the river will be full of young steelhead, causing some anglers to com plain about the nuisance of these small fish. Some good bets include Canyon Creek and the upper John Day. The South Fork should produce some rainbows in the 10- to 12-mch size range if water is in shape. Catch able-sized trout will be re leased in Rowe Creek Reser voir, Dollarhide and Patterson ponds for the opening. Road access should be fair to Magone Lake and Canyon Meadows. Both of these waters have an abundance of eastern brooks and rainbows. Anglers are warned that back roads are soft and muddy. la Grande area streams are expected high and muddy and angling will not be the best. Road is good Into Morgan Lake and angling is expected good for rainbow and brook trout on a variety of lures and baits. Balm Creek R e s e rv o 1 r is snowed in with a 11 roads blocked. Unity Reservoice should pro- «luce some fine catches, es pecially near the mouths of all forks. Burnt River below Unity will provide fine catches of nice rainbow. Higgins Reser- voir should be good, but roads will be muddy if present wet weather continues. All trout ponds will be striked including Roulet in Union County, North Powder Ponds 1 and 2, Highway Pond 203, and Wyatt Reser voir in Baker County. Wallowa County streams are cold and will not be stocked until later on in May. If streams are not muddy some nice catches of resident and hold over trout should be made. Smaller streams will be best although some fair catches should be made in the Wallowa, Lostine and lmnaha rivers. The road up tiie Lostine is blocked above the Pole Bridge and the upper lmnaha is blocked by snow. Rainbow angling is expected good tor the opening at Wallowa Lake. Kokanee fishing will be slow, but should improve in May. Trolling will bring the best results. Kokanee are run ning about 10 inches in length this year. Channel catfish angling should be tops in the Snake River from Hells Canyon Dam to the state line. Small mouth bass angling will be slow, but should pick up in a few weeks. Southeast In southeastern Oregon the general weather picture is un- Nttted. Stream fishing will generally be confined to areas below 5,000 feet. All areas above that elevation remain snowbound or roads are muddy and impassable. Vehicle travel will be confined to main roads in National Forests, with side roads too soft or snowbound. Stream angling is expected poor at higher elevations and fair to good at lower elevations. Emigrant and Silver Creek should be fair. Logan valley streams will be generally in accessible. The Little Malheur may be available and should be fair.

Threemile Creek should be good, but the lower Biitzen is expected to be quite turbid and high to produce well. The Trout Creek mountain streams should be fair to good if water conditions are favorable. Road conditions should be falr into the Trout Creek country. Malheur Reservoir will pro duce some fine angling. Water conditions are good at present, but stormy weather usually makes angling success poor.

Plants need a small, constant supply of ni trogen during the first month of growth. How ever, they need very Ammonium large quantities during the second and third months of growth. Side-dressing with anhydrous ammonia adds nitrogen just ahead of the period when plants require large amounts of this essen tial plant food. How do I know how much anhydrous ammonia I should pay for? Can anhydrous ammonia be applied evenly? Anhydrous ammonia tanks are weighed in the field before and after every application; you can see on the scales exactly how much nitrogen has been used. You pay for only the ammonia used. Your Soil Fertility Specialists at the United States Steel Farm Service Center have been pro fessionally trained to apply anhydrous ammonia evenly, accurately, at the right depth, at the right time, with the right equiDment. What are the advantages of side-dressing with anhydrous ammonia? The nitrogen is placed deep where the roots are growing and is both immediately available and a long-lasting form of nitrogen. It does not leach out of the root zone nor does it move rapid ly to the top of beds where it becomes unavail able. It enables you to apply nitrogen when it is most needed for maximum production.
