NO NEED FOR CHANGING
FISHING REGULATIONS
SAYS GAME WARDEN

PHOENIX. May Sin answer to
letters from sporismen Game War
den Prochaska says there is no dan
ger whatever that Roosevelt lake will
become overstockei with fish. and that
he sees no immediate necessity for
increasing the limit or otherwise
changing tine regulations.
Conditions for the propagation of
fish at Roosevelt are exceedingly IN
favorable" said the game warden.
This is due primarily to the fact
that the fish lay their spawn in shall
low water. With the water level in
creasing from four to six inches a
day. the spawn soon is covered with
thick stratum of water and this un-
natural condition prevents the eggs
from Matching Fer this reason pro-
agation is a slow process and it will
be many years yet until the lake is
filled with fish"
