Show K8Saay,Jtti.zsss n Updated fishing report .Vernal Exoress. Note: Conservation officers have requested to remind anglers to read the proclamations proclama-tions and understand the rules before venturing out. With the good spring fishing, it's relatively rela-tively easy to catch more than the daily or bag limit. Taking fish back to a camper or residence resi-dence does not allow the angler to return and catch more fish. Also, the only legal fishing fish-ing technique on almost all of Utah's waters is pole, line and hook. The few exceptions are listed in the proclamation. The use of nets, bags, coolers, clubs, hands, etc. are definitely illegal. Good fishing for trout and bass waters finally warming up. Bluegill started to move into the shallows last Thursday at Pelican - should be excellent for them by now. BROUGH RESERVOIR RESER-VOIR Anglers report fair to good fishing. Reservoir is being filled. Note: Special regulations, please read proclamation. To get to Brough, take State Route 88 south from US Route 40 (Ouray Road). Turn west at the second dirt road past the high power lines. Follow this road approximately 2 miles staying to the left at each main fork. Road can be quite muddy and rutted. BROWNE SPIRIT LAKE No new reports. Road gates are open. Access may be muddy to Browne and still too much snow to get to Spirit Lake. Both waters should be good fishing. EAST PARK OAKS PARK No new reports. Gate at the highway is open. Road report is the paved road is open but there is still too much snow and mud to travel very far on the other roads. CALDER CROUSE RESERVOIRS RESER-VOIRS Calder (2004) joined Crouse (2002) as a drought victim. vic-tim. UDWR biologists determined deter-mined Calder had a complete winterkill just prior to ice melt. Update for 2005: Calder is full and overflow now going into Crouse. Depending on how much water is claimed by earlier water rights, ( Crouse may fill this year. Plans are to stock both reservoirs later this,, spring. CURRANT CREEK RESERVOIR RESER-VOIR Last report was good fishing, no ice. The road around the reservoir still has mud and snow. Good access to the dam. FLAMING GORGE RESERVOIR RESER-VOIR All reservoir ramps are open. Fishing from Buckboard to the Confluence has been good for two five pound lake trout over the river channel using three-inch jigs tipped with sucker meat or a minnow, or trolling small flatfish, spoons or a minnow behind flashers. flash-ers. There have been reports of larger lake trout caught in the Anvil Draw, Linwood, Antelope and Stateline areas. Look for fish 50 to 90 feet deep over points and along the river channel. Techniques include trolling bottom structure using down riggers or steel line and flatfish, crank baits, or a flasher flash-er trailing a squid or small lure; or vertical jigging using tube or bucktail jigs with or without a minnow or sucker meat. Lake trout can inhabit shallow water this time of year, so another effective technique is long lining lin-ing a Rapala or similar lure on monofilament early mornings morn-ings or late evenings along shoreline areas as well as over traditional deep runs. There are many small and medium sized lake trout in Flaming Gorge, so please take advantage advan-tage of the six fish lake trout regulation (one over 28 inches) and harvest a limit. Rainbow trout fishing is picking up at South Buckboard, Squaw Hollow, Anvil Draw, Linwood, Sheep Creek and Mustang. Shore fishermen should try a nightcrawlermarshmallow combo or Powerbait just off the bottom, or cast spinners or jigs. Smallmouth bass fishing remains slow, however there have been early reports of kokanee salmon being caught in 10-25 feet of water. GREEN RIVER (upper) Base flows are 1000 cfs with possible fluctuations up to 1600 cfs, typically typi-cally late afternoon or evening, due to test flows at Glen Canyon Dam. Nymphs are the primary winter pattern, although some anglers use terrestrial dry flies as strike indicators ahead of a nymph. Early BWO mayfly may-fly hatches along with daily V ill' 'Jy IF ) nJ?

Her sister, Robyn, giggles at her reaction to the fish which had a little blood on it. midge activity are providing limited surface action, particularly particu-larly in the Little Hole area and other sunny reaches. This will increase during the next few weeks. Try mayfly patterns size 14 18, and midge patterns 18 22. Good nymph patterns include olive, tan or pink scuds, size 10 16; San Juan Worms, size 12 14; bead head midge, size 16 22; pheasant tails, size 16 20, and Glo Bugs. For streamer fishing, try brown, tan or olive wooly buggers, size 2 6, and light colored col-ored bunny patterns or minnow min-now imitations. Spin fishermen should try small rapalas; spinners; spin-ners; black, brown or olive marabou mar-abou jigs; and tube jigs. New Zealand Mudsnail densities have dramatically increased in several localized areas near Little Hole, and have been doc umented within several miles of the dam. Please thoroughly clean mud and vegetation from waders, boats and fishing gear, and if possible, completely dry equipment before leaving the area. A hot water bath (120 degrees Fahrenheit) will kill mudsnails, and spraying equipment equip-ment with 409 or a similar soap . solution before drying will increase effectiveness. BIG SAND WASH RESERVOIR RESER-VOIR Reservoir is drained for repairs and was treated to remove fish in early September. Plans are to improve the boat ramp and then fill this spring.
