HB-141 PASSES SENATE!
Mar 10th
Shocking News! HB-141 Passes SenateTaken from: http://utahwatergaurdians.org/ March 10, 2010 A sad day for Utah’s fisherman, Representative McIff’s unconstitutional House-bill somehow passes the Senate.In an odd twist of events, the 2nd substitute HB-141 was passed with a 19-10 vote late in the day. A swarm of brand-new cowboy hats filled the hallway in front of the Senate door this afternoon in anticipation for a full floor debate. The 2nd substitute HB-141 was made public, just 3 hours before the vote…. in a nut shell, its still full of problems. Also, Senator Stowell attached a bill, SB-281 Public Access to Stream Beds – Utah Waterways Task Force, to HB-141. We’ll post a full breakdown shortly. The Vote->http://le.utah.gov/~2010/status/hbillsta/hb0141s02.htm Please note how your Representative voted and act according come election time. If they stood up for the Constitution and water law, send in a note thanking them.

Early Spring and a Hatch or Two
Mar 7th
When the fishing is great, the great do whatever it takes to be on the water. This past week the fishing has been great. The famed Blue Wing Olive Mayfly has been hatching daily on a local trout stream, bringing some of the best top water action of the year, as well as producing a hatch of die hard fisherman. With the fishing off the charts I couldn’t sit around until Saturday to get back on the water. Fortunately I have a flexible job and was able to take a couple of half days and fish the river with some friends as well as hit it on Sat. So with 4 days on the water this week, I was able to witness first hand the majestic beauty that God has giving us to experience and respect. During these days I have learned some great lessons about fly fishing as well as life. So here they are:

Trash Talk and The Brothers
Feb 28th
A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to fish with my two younger bros, Jordan and Gunner. Its always a good time when we fish together, with lots of messing around, trash talk and brotherly competition. This day was special though. We were targeting oversized fish that would make any angler smile. So with that in mind the trash talking began. I was talking all kinds of trash to Jordan about our last outing, but it wasn’t until I hooked up with a small 26 inch bow on my second cast, that I was able to back-up what I was throwing up. After that my head and mouth grew ten sizes. It really didn’t matter though, the picky fish were kind to us all that morning and we all had our hands on some of the biggest fish of our lives.
