When last seen, he was on his way to the Sin Raphael swell, where he hopes to hook one of those elusive desert Marlins. By: Simon Elmsley traveled fishing expert enjoyed a great deal of success at Joes Valley reservoir recently. After fishng in Scotland, Canada, and the Eastern United states he wa out ofj to say, I have never had as much fun as at Joes Valley. He went on to explain his experiences. He said that he had only been fishing for about two years. In Scotland, he had fished one stream coming Loch Lomond. He had been able to see the trout easily in the clear water. Here, as In many other places, he had caught nothing. This particular trip was marked by falling into the stream fully clothed, and by soaking his shoes which he had held in his hand to keep dry. He also broke his rod. The expert admitted that most of his knowledge came from books. In Quebec, Canada, he caught his first trout. The small rainbow had swallowed the worm, unnoticed by the fisherman, who was busy undoing a very tangled line, in New York State he has fished the trout streams south of Buffalo. Regularly spending up to ten hours a day wading the streams, he became known as the "sucker and chub king, He caught one Brown trout near a dam, He accounted for his success there by saying that the fish couldnt see him and that his noisy streamside technique of bulldozing through the brush, tripping into the river, and cursing whilst catching his rod on trees was drowned out by the roar of the water. After these experiences, he said that he had decided to go West. Actually, not all his trips had been unsuccessful. He had caught pike In Ontario, smelt and perch Ice fishing in New York, and crapples this spring. East Canyon near salt Lake City was his debut In "mountain fishing, Here the expert scorned the use of cheese as unsporting ( he had forgotten to bring any) and attempted spinners and flies. Apparently he dismissed the fact that a local had caught four trout on cheese whilst he was watching , as a publicity stunt arranged by A widely the Salt Lake tourist board. When he lost his only spinner on the first cast and started making up home-mafly leaders and trying to match the hatch from a small selection of garish five cent flies for an hour or two, a friend remarked, you seem to know your tackle. The expert replied that it was a good substitute to not catching the fish. He then traveled de to, joes Valley. Arriving at Orangeville he was told by a store keeper that the fish hid In the sagebrush. The surprised expert smiled at this madman and started to wonder if the trout round here really came out of the water. The Valley of course was everything a camper could dream of with mountains, sunshine, and of course the turquoise reservoir. By the time he had set up camp it was evening. The fish werent jumping but there were some guts near the water side. ( was this just another tourist board plant?) The first cast was with a spinner. Whilst retrieving there was a small tug and the expert struck hard. He had caught his first sage bush, ( so thats what the man meant!). He then tried cheese, as there was nobody around who would tell of his crime to other experts. But again there were no bites. The expert admitted that he was worried. Had he bought the wrong cheese? Didnt the rainbows here eat Cheddar? or did they prefer a more expensive Roquefort or Camambert? In despair he turned to flies, for by now the fish were jumping all around him. Then at last.... success!! Turning to his partner, the expert held up a two and a half inch fingerling. Being a sportsman he unhooked the fish, ran it through the water to help It breath, as the books said to do and released the great catch loveingly. The next morning at six oclock the expert again cast cheese. By breakfast he had caught enough of the nine inch trout to feed himself and his partner well. And so it continued the next day. Whilst fishing he saw nymphs rising to the surface and the flies hatching. He saw the trout taking the insects above and below the water. He noticed that the trout fed at the edge early when the water was cool and less so in the evening when It was warmed by the day.

IM1 0 IN And the happy host and hostess, Homer and Thelma Mills Early Explorers in Castle Valley Degan History of Stock Raising Telephones by : James A. Jones It was prior to 1875, James in company with others, explored In Castle Valley. They were looking for a place to start a stock raising ranch business. After locating an area at the mouth when ot Huntington Canyon, they returned tosk-u- ll valley ( where they already had some holdings.) At a meeting of the following persons ( all bachelors) they decided to move to the Huntington river. The men were: James McHadden, Leander Lemon, en Alfred Starr, Joe Newsy, Peter Grant, Miller, and Bill Gentry. In this meeting they organized a company, and decided to purchase sheep In California and trail them to the Huntington River. Leander Lemon was selected to head the company to goto California. The names of those to accompany him are not definitely known. While James McHadden was to head another group to return to the Huntington River. They were tobringhorsesto graze In the area, and to use as saddle horses and work stock. They estimated that It would take at least 120 days to tr-a- U the sheep herd through. So Lee Lemon with his group set out Immediately for California, while the McHadden groupwa-lte- d for the snows to melt on the mountains before trailing the horses eastward. Lee Lemon took an Indian guide with him. The McHadden party arrived on the Huntington River sometime in May or the first part of June 1875, and started clearing the land for cultivation and taking a ditch from the river to carry water to It. They also did some further exploring find- -, lng another stream to the north about fl- -l ve miles, which they named Cedar Creek," In this area they found winter feed planted, upon the arrival of Lee and his group in the fall it was decided to push on to the Cedar Creek area. There they built dugouts In the cutbanks of the stream in which to live that winter, ( This place is known as the Dugouts to this day.) It was found that It did not require all the meff to herd the sheep and horses so a Ru-eb- 50 Years Ago And Today Emery County Farmers Union Telephone Assoc.

Teresa is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Pace, Feiron, Utah, she is registered to attend the salt Lake City college. We congratulate Miss Pace on this Mr. Stevens ditch. In 1877 the alfalfa produced and was harvested by hand using a sythe and cradle to cut and bunch It. Traces of the McHadden ditch can be seen today just north of the Wilton Lemmon farm as you cruise along the present Highway, portions of It may still be used by Mr, Lemmon. The ranching business was then established by the time the Benjamin Jones and Ellas Cox settlers arrived with their families In the fall of 1877, settling In dugouts two or three miles downstream from this homestead. said.

This was used for a place to protect themselves from the bad weather on stormy days while they were working on the ditch and clearing the land. Some of them may even have stayed In this cabin rather than make the five miles ride every day. It seems that Jim McHadden or Leander Lemon were always In charge here at the cabin. By the spring of 1876 there was some acreage cleared and the ditch had been completed to bring the water to tt. They planted crops of grain and alfalfa. The grain was used as a nurse crop for the alfalfa. ( This came to be the first alfalfa to be grown in Castle Valley.) Leaving Leander Lemon In charge, James McHadden , Bill Gentry, and Alfred starr went to salt Lake city where Jim and Bill purchased a herd of cattle to trail back to the ranch. While Alfred Starr bought another herd of sheep to be trailed back. Leander and his crew which could be spared from the herding worked Irrigating the crops, clearing more land and extending the ditch, which was almost completed by the time McHadden and Gentry returned.
