The article follows: The State Wildlife Resources Commission Monday decided to open the mountain trout season April 2. even though is will be im possible to do mrfch pre-season trout stocking in the western streams. 'Execuitive direstor Clvde P. Patton said a telephone poll of commission members reversed a decision to delay the opening date until April 30. The commission agreed, he said, that the delay is not acceptable to the majority of trout anglers. ' . The postponement was voted March 15, at the height of record snow fails in the west i "The commission realises that due to weather and road condi tions little or no pre-season stock ing can be done," Patton said. However, he added, this would give an opportunity to check the ability of trout waters to supply native 'fish. ' Vn. ''.
