S sy s2__ Castlegar News _ lo. 198s SPORTS Fishing quotas smaller Smaller catch quotas are coming into effect for the 1985/86 freshwater fishing seasons to rebuild British Columbia’s wild stocks of trout and char, Environment Minister Austin Pelton has announced. Referring to the 1985/86 synopsis of regulations for sport fishing in B.C. non- tidal waters, now being dis- tributed to licence outlets. Pelton said new regulations for trout and char will reduce general catch quotas on lakes from the limit of eight fish per day formerly prevailing over much of the province, to four, five or six fish per day, depending on fishing pres- sure and productivity in each region. There will be general re- ductions in stream catch quotas for trout and char throughout the province as well, limiting anglers to two stream-caught fish a day in the Vancouver Island and Lower Mainland regions, three a day in the Skeena, Omineca and Peace areas, and four fish a day from streams in the Thompson- {po RENT-A-BOBCAT (With Operator) "Reed Grover” Mone Nicola, Okanagan, Cariboo, and Kootenay regions. More restrictive limits on the size of fish that may be taken are being applied as well, especially where access is easy, fish stocks are badly depressed, or a species is particularly vulnerable. “Anglers are catching probably twice as many hat- chery produced trout as they did a decade ago, but the total catch of hatchery and wild fish combined has re- mained much the same from year to year, and the average catch per angler per day has fallen from 2.7 fish to 1.6 fish a day,” Pelton said. “So it looks as though we've been overfishing our wild stocks and replacing much of the lost wild produc- tion with hatchery fish,” he said. WHL VICTORY “We've got to stop the decline and bring back those wild stocks because, in spite of losses, wild production still supplies 75 per cent of the fish caught. There is no way that a hatchery program could replace the natural production from wild fish. “The new catch quotas and size restrictions are essential to help us maintain and re- build our wild trout and char stocks.” Pelton said anglers will find a more detailed explan- ation of the new quotas and size limits in the 1985/86 synopsis, and he urged sports fishermen to obtain a copy, noting that the limits he had quoted were general, and an- glers must have knowledge of the numerous exceptions applying to various lakes and streams in order to stay within the regulations. Angling closures, catch and release fisheries, and gear and bait restrictions have alwo been modified for a number of waters. Among changes of par- ticular significance are: © The regulation prohibit- ing a fisherman who has caught and retained his daily quota of steelhead from con- tinuing to fish the same stream for the remainder of that day, now applies to all steelhead streams through- out the province. @ Wild steelhead must now be released from all waters, all year round, in Regions 1 and 2. e An annual quota of five rainbow trout over 40 cm PAY-TV CHANNEL Sports 24-hours a day By GRANT KERR The Canadian Press The glut of sports programming on the television airwaves will escalate as The Sports Network stretches its satellite wings and flutters from baseball to darts to Australian rules football: TSN, the 24-hour all-sports network available on pay-cable in Canada, has operated for seven months, has 560,000 subscribers, and is shooting for one million in the next year, says president and general manager Gordon Craig. “When we got approval of our licence one year ago, it took about 10 seconds to accept the challenge,” he says. “It's been 12 hectic months and a personally rewarding experience. “We hed pi ing on schedule (Sept. 1, 1984), we have 88 full-time employees and the satellite contracts to make. this a successful operation. “The key is programming.

Hynes star of series MEDICINE HAT, ALTA. (CP) — Gord Hynes of Medi. cine Hat Tigers capped a tremendous playoff perfor- mance with a goal after 27 seconds of overtime to give the Tigers a 4-3 win over Re- gina Pats and 4-1 victory in the Western Hockey League's Eastern Division semifinal series Tuesday. Hynes survived a shaky start in the first game of the semifinal and went on to be- come the star of the series. The Tigers now advance to the Eastern Division final MINOR BASEBALL REGISTRATION Deadline April 12, 1985 Arena Complex General Meeting, April 16 CONTACT: Bob Maloff — 365-3403 against Prince Albert Raid- ers. The first game is sched- uled for Friday night in Prince Albert. Hynes scored six goals in the five-game series with the Pats, including three goals in the second game and two game winners. “I was happy to see every. thing turn around,” said Hynes. “I was the bum of the team after the first game. I was awful.” Hynes took a pass from Bob Bassen on a two-on-one break and stuffed the puck under Regina goaltender Jamie Reeve for the series- winning goal. That goal ended what Pats coach Bob Strumm called for one of the greatest series in the WHL's history. “You're never going to see a greater series between two great organizations,” said Strumm. The Pats never led in the game, but came back to tie the score three times. Kevin Clemens’ goal at 13:55 of the third period forced the over- time. Allan Acton and Brad Lauer scored the other Re- gina goals and Jeff Wenaas, Randy Siska and Shane Chur- la scored for the Tigers.

Calgary had re- portedly offered Barnes more than $1 million in a contract for three years plus an option season. The Stampeders, who had to reorganize their finances this summer after another losing season both on the field and at the box office, wanted Barnes for his exper. fence and his teaching abil. itis The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Barnes began his CFL career with Montreal Alouettes in 1976, helping them to the 1977 Grey Cup champion- ship.

Craig and his staff have gone after many of the lesser Canadian sports bypassed by the CBC and CTV networks. They've broadcast college sports, swim meets and boxing. A typicak TSN approach is to televise the preliminary games in a hockey tournament like the Memorial Cup, leaving the championship game for the major networks. “We can give these lesser sports the exposure they need to build a product,” Craig says. “There are so many segments of Canadian sport that are ignored by the net works. “We have eight hours of regular programming a day spread over five and one-half time zones. We try to have live programming whenever possible. Sure, we have alternate viewing opportunities — we don't like to call them repeats — because of the time zones and lifestyles in Canada. Much Two networks cover playoffs TORONTO (CP) — Na- tional Hockey League fans in Canada can feast on Stanley Cup playoff fare from two television networks starting April 20. CBC plans to start its playoff coverage when the puck drops Wednesday for the first round of the play- offs. CTV will wait until April 20, missing the first round and first game of the second round, because of prior com- mitments. CBC has traditionally given priority to Canadian teams competing in the play- offs but CTV is free to cover series involving U.S. clubs after a decision made in De- cember by the NHL board of governors.

CBC BACKGROUND Craig, a former CBC executive, is especially proud of the half-hour national sports packages put together each day a staff headed by another former CBC employee, executive producer Peter Allies. ; “Unlike the major networks, we have no affiliate stations, so we must satellite much of our material in order to be on top of the breaking stories,” says Allies. “We have established full-time reporters in the major Canadian markets. “We have the right kind of budget to give us the latitude to do the job on a national newscast of sports. When the Jays signed Bill Caudill, for example, we quickly got a crew into Chicago and produced a story via satellite delivery. “We have the philosophy, that, not only must we be ve, we must be the leader in delivering major stories in Canada. We also have four satellite dishes pulling in two signals each so that we can put together our own highlight packages. We want to be a leader in the industry, not a follower.” Mid-Week Wrap-up BASEBALL BOWLING £ Bentley 620. june Rourke Pod. 600. Night Howk Ov! 3404 Other 6008 ond 7008 Barry tin. 65 250.

The theme — taken from the Bible book of Colossians 2:6,7 — points up the need for a strong faith “to avoid being dragged into the wickedness of the world of mankind to- day,” according toa prepared release. Doug Held, District Over- seer of Jehovah's Witnesses, said, “Failure of govern- ments, our economic system, religions and science, has created a world of disbelief, and scepticism. Many believe that evolution has disproved the existence of God. “However, the miracle of human life, and other forms of living things, with their perfect design prove there must be a designer and builder or creator, and that one is God.
