W
allowa Lake, Kinney Lake southeast of
Joseph, and seven ponds will be stocked
with 55,000 rainbow trout before the
middle of August, says Oregon Department of Fish
and Wildlife (ODFW) District Fish Biologist Jeff
Yanke.
Yanke says the fsh will at least be the legally
catchable size of 8 long, with some trophy fsh
stocked as well to heighten fsher interest.
Oregons Free Fishing Weekend June 7-8 will
trigger the stocking of fsh in many select locations,
including popular Marr Pond in Enterprise.
Starting before Memorial Day, rainbow were
being stocked at two-week intervals in Wallowa
Lake, Yanke says. He notes that the end of stocking
rainbow in Wallowa Lake, like ODFWs Wallowa
County fsh stocking program as a whole, occurs by
mid-August.
Kinney Lake, about eight miles from Joseph, is
stocked with rainbow three times a year, in May,
June and July.

their season.
Playing against Santiam

dled the Cubs 14-1.

ison batted in one run on a

grader at Joseph Charter
School, has bested 800-meter
and 1500-meter track records
set in 1987 and 1998.
And the oldest of those
two former records was set
27 years ago by the young-
est daughter of Millers track

Pine, Miller ticked more than
two seconds off her schools

was clocked in 2:32.23, be-
neath Smiths prior record of
2:34.7.
