Utah Stream Access Update
Feb 24th
2/23—HB-141 passed the House today 50-25 and is now moving onto the Senate.
KEY POINTS of INTEREST –>HB 141:
- It is a clear violation of separation of powers, making it in direct contrast to the Utah Constitution Article V Section I and the ideals of our founding fathers.
- It was done in secret, and the substitute bill came out after it passed committee and was sprung on the House for a quick debate.
- Approves a political and controversial process of adding waters to a list that can be access by the public and saying what waters can’t be accessed by the public.
- Negates over 100 years of water law in Utah.
- Flies in the face of 3 Utah Supreme Court decisions separated by over 70 years declaring and defining the public’s easement in State waters.
- Refuses to balance two competing constitutional rights, but unconstitutionally disregards one in the favor of the other.
This bill is unconstitutional….PERIOD!

2010 Fishing Goals
Jan 24th
Every January I sit down and think of all the adventures and places I want to visit. I also think of other things I want to do and learn in a year. In all its a great way to push myself in to new places and dreams I never thought I would reach.
This I want to go back to my roots, I want to fish more with dries and an old bamboo rod. I want to spend time with the ones that introduced me to this great sport. I really want to in someway thank those that have given me so much, I cant find any better way then by fishing with them.

Christmas Gear Review
Jan 13th
So I didn’t great a ton of new gear this Christmas, but the few things I did get for fly fishing have been pretty fun to try out. 
1. Magnetic Rod Stand- So I have always scene these at fly shops and always thought they looked like a great idea, but for some reason I never was able to pull the trigger. I wish I would have now that I have used them, it probably would have saved me a couple broken rods. I used mine on the Green River a few weeks ago and it worked great. It held the rods as we got them ready and with the padded protection didn’t scratch up the Denali. In all a great buy for $10 bucks.
