Conductinq a creel census on /he Sacramento River near Ball's Ferry. Fisheries Biologist Bill Van Woerl measures an angler's catch. (Fish and Game Photo by John E. Riggs) Inland Fisheries activities during the biennium \\ ere stepped up in nearly every phase of fisheries manage- ment. Certain activities needed to cope with the ever increasing water utilization projects received special emphasis, but increased emphasis was also placed on the many programs designed principally to maintain or improve sport fishing in the face of intensified angling pressures. Special fact-finding investigations, coupled with ex- tensive negotiations between department fisheries per- sonnel and water development agencies, resulted in adequate protection measures for the fisheries threat- ened bv \\ ater developments, as well as plans to take advantage of any new^ fisheries possibilities the\' pre- sent. Listed on page 46 are some of the major new public fishing waters created during the biennium. The Folsom Reservoir in Sacramento, Placer and El Dorado Counties, Pine Flat Reservoir in Fresno County, and Isabella Reservoir in Kern County are three of the most important new reservoirs. Good Fisheries Developing Eff'orts to create good fishing in these waters have been an added burden, but have been highly success- ful in most instances. A splendid smallmouth bass fish- erv is developing rapidly in Pine Flat Reservoir, and it may well attract state-wide attention by the spring of 1957. An initial planting of more than 1,000,000 warm- water fish in Folsom Reservoir created some excellent fishing in the spring and summer of 1956. It, too, should develop rapidly into one of the best warm- water fishing waters in the State. The department's inland fisheries investigations, aimed at learning how- to improve and regulate im- portant fisheries to best advantage, provided the basis for all changes in regulations. Thev also provided the basis for other management activities such as fish stocking and rescue, rough fish control, flow maintenance dams, construction of screens and ladders, and the installation of other .33.
