New regula- Take along ruler to fish river A necessity for anyone's creel while fishing the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam is a ruler. Most anglers are aware of the major ma-jor changes in trout limit on the Green River to the Colorado state line, but throwing back a 19 and a half incher can somethings be depressing. The new regulations will allow a bag limit of two fish under 13 inches and one fish over 20 inches. This requires re-quires that all trout between 13 and 20 inches have to be thrown back. To insure in-sure the survival of the trout that are thrown back, artificial lures and flies can only be used. The Division of Wildlife Resource has numerous reasons for the changes. Until 1978, water temperatures neared 40 degree year-round and resulted in poor trout growth. Flaming Flam-ing Gorge Dam was modified by the Bureau of Reclamation in 1978 to release warmer water from the lake surface into the Green River. Trout growth greatly improved. During the winter, a high percentage percen-tage of recently stocked trout die. Studies indicate that winter habitat is ample for adult fish but not for juveniles. "f - s r," .'

The expected results of the regulations regula-tions are increased quality of fishing. Utah has only 61 miles of "Blue Ribbon" trout streams. The Green River comprises half of that total, combining excellent trout fishing with a unique river-running experience ex-perience and beautiful canyon scenery. The new regulations will tap the New Sports & Physical Fitness Program The first six months of the new Cub Scouts sports emphasis has been a big success. Physical fitness is first in popularity with baseball a close second. Right behind these are marbles, soccer bowling and swimming. in an efTort to strengthen the fitness of today's family, the Boy Scouts of Anerica in cooperation with major sports associations associa-tions and the President's Presi-dent's Council on Fit ness and Sports have introduced the Cub Scout's sports emphasis for 1.5 million Cub Scouts and their families.

Nimrod himself, of course, in Old Testament times, rarely missed a chance to hunt.' Most often, he also brought home game. You can try to be as successful as your Indian Summer guests by going out for a second try (if necessary) on the archery venison chase which begins Saturday...or oil that shotgun for a try at mourning doves beginning Sept. 2. If planning on the latter, begin stocking up on the No. 7 andor No. 8 shotgun shell loads. Bow hunters will go high for bucks, as usual, from the south slope of the Uintas to Ashley National Forest terrain ter-rain between Uintah Basin and the Price-Dragerton country. Many hie to the "back" or east side of the Wasatch Mountains, but you'll find fewer com-petitiors com-petitiors in the more spacious territory from Heber City across Wolf Creek Pass to Diamond Mountain and the Book Cliffs. Remember, even if you don't score on the Robin Hood sortie, you will locate those better bucks for the rifle shoot in October. Consider it a scouting expedition. If you possess a muzzle-loader muzzle-loader permit for the November season, you can also go on a "late" hunt when snow pushes these monarchs down into lower lairs. With bow stalking you also have a chance for two deer since the so-called "rifle" buck can be taken in archery season. At the present request of muzzle-loaders, however, you can't hunt in November on this one if you tied on a "rifle" tag earlier. As for anterless permits, they're usually available. But only two deer can be taken in Utah per year nowadays. We'll likely never see the "five-buck" Utah seasons again! - You'll also want to check out the upland bird jousts which pit your wiles against those of sage grouse, forest (ruffed and blue) species, chukar, par- tridge and cottontails. There are a few Hungarian partridges to be found in western Wasatch County, but most are In the northern Utah wheat regions. Check the proclamation for details.

In the meantime, state fishery biologists have indicated Utahns can expect more year-round fishing in 1986. If you want to get in on discussions, discus-sions, check with regional fisheries offices of-fices in Vernal and Springville for pre-proclamation pre-proclamation discussions. Watch those cold nights for the dove opener. If they get much cooler (warmer climes are predicted) you can expect the mourners to head south before the opener even arrives. With expected late temperatures, they should be hanging around water holes, dusty backroads near sunflower patches, pat-ches, and lower elevations. Don't forget, you've got another weekend on the William Tell challenge. Nothing could be finer than a (velvet) rack taken by you the way the first Americans did it. V-' V SNAPPER |
