S30 for One Trout; Three
 Anglers Muff
Fishermen Have Expensive Flight 10 Lake, Fresh
 water Bay Area

Thirty dollars for a trout about l2 inches long. Expensive trout at S2.50 an inch.
 But three local fishermen who flew into a hidden lake near Fresh water Bay yesterday afternoon ex- pecting to fill their creels say they are not sorry.
 Fred Jaegel, who caught the 12- inch rainbow on salmon eggs, the sole catch of the afternoons fish, ing, exhibited the $50 trout last night after returning from the lake with his two fishing partners, Art Beaudin and Jim O'Neil, in a flight made by Johnny Amundsen at $10 per person.
 Too early in the season is the excuse given by the anglers. Ice is reported still on the edges of the lake, and the water is too fresh to permit of good fishing.
 Other local fishermen need not be jealous of not catching a golden rainbow, for the two nim- rods, apparently intending to re- turn for a more successful trip, still refuse to divulge the exact location of the lake where trout are reported to abound

 Satko is at liberty under $25 bail after being arrested yesterday on a charge of resisting an officer, when six policemen served juvenile court order on him to release his six minor children to the custody of the court.

 Six of the Satko children are in a detention home, and another child, aged 4, is aboard the Ark. Satko is backed by legal staff provided by "a defense committee organized in Tacoma last night, which is prepar- ed to go to court to fight Judge Long whose hobby is child welfare" The committees legal defense has had  the hearing case postponed until Monday, and the police court hear ing for Satko also set over.

 Capt John Fox, Secretary of the Seattle Local of the Masters, Mates and Pilots, who yesterday asked the juvenile authorities to take the Sat- ko children away from their parents to prevent their going to Alaska in the allegedly dangerous craft, offered to start public subscription fund for the Satko's.
 His idea is to raise enough money to send the ex-marine and his fam fly to Alaska by steamship. Said Fox: "If they want the Ark up there and it is so unseaworthy that it im-
