In the opinion of many, October Oc-tober is perhaps the finest month for angling in the state with competition for choice spots at a minimum. With the beginning of the cool weather, the large brown trout will be leaving their normal big-water habitats to travel the tributaries to their spawning grounds. Good fishing can be found in most of the streams that head in the high country of the Wasatch Front with the Logan River being an excellent ex-cellent choice for fishing the big browns. Other rivers providing better than even odds are the Weber, Provo and the south fork of the Ogden. The Duchesne River, Uinta Uin-ta River, Lake Fork River and Rock Creek, all of which flow off the south slope of the Uintas, also offer outstanding outstan-ding late-season fishing. For a change of pace consider con-sider fishing Strawberry Reservoir. Here the quarry could be cutthroat with a popular method of angling (fflSfi WOLFE'S Next to the Gondola at the Resort Center Page 7 being to wade out as far as possible and cast a fly-and-bubbly combination. The waning hours of daylight should provide the greatest rewards, but some of the best trout are taken after dark. So, if birds or big game aren't your bag, don't despair. Go out and wet a line and enjoy some of the finest fishing of the year. Nordics Named Five young athletes have been named by U.S. Nordic Director John Bower to the national Blue Nordic Team.
