Fishing Report as of July 30 crwa w Ra 8rtrT Big Sand Wash Reservoir: Anglers reporting fair fishing for rainbow trout during the cooler hours. Be aware of the flooded vegetation and the large boulders on the dam swallowing hooks. Try fishing top water flies and lures when it is cool and use either abubble or floatingbaite to clear the submerged vegetation and boulders. Catchable-sized fish and fingerlings have been stocked to provide immediate and long-term fisheries. Bullock Cottonwood Reservoirs: Reser-voirs: Reports of fair fishing for bass and rainbows and a few tiger musky being taken. Remember tiger musky have a size limit: all fish under 40 inches must be released immediately. Use of heavy tackle and a steel leader to protect your line is advised for those fishing for tiger musky. Small boats can be launched from undeveloped sites near the dams when the water level is high. Cottonwood Cot-tonwood was drained down for repairs. Reservoirs are located approximately five miles north of the town of Gusher. Brough Reservoir: Last reports re-ports were of fair to good fishing for a mix of browns and rainbows. rain-bows. Most anglers fished from ' tropny eaten and release regulations, regula-tions, please read proclamation. Also, use heavier tackle to bring the fish in quickly and keep the fish completely underwater when handling to increase odds of survival. Technique is especially important in hot temperatures. 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 ap-proximately two miles staying to the left at each main fork. Road can be quite rutted. Brownie Sheep Creek Spirit Lake: Getting reports of good fishing. Bears have been spotted in these areas so be aware and keep a clean camp. Warning: whirling disease was found in this area, please do not clean fish or dump fish parts taken from one water into another lake or stream. Also make sure to clean, dry and sterilize waders, live wells and other fishing gear before be-fore venturing to another water, as this will also move whirling disease. Calder Crouse Reservoirs: Reports of good fishing. The new "trophy " regulation (flies and lures only, no baits) for Calder began January 1, 2007. Please read the proclamation for details on the new regulations. EastOaks Parks: Reports of fair to good fishing on both reservoirs. res-ervoirs. Anglers also reporting catching fish on the streams in the area. The entire Red Cloud Loop road system is open. Flaming Gorge Reservoir: Launching boats is possible on all ramps. Please make sure your boat was thoroughly cleaned in very hot water (140 F recommended) and dried for a minimum of five days, and sterilize any areas containing water with potassium chloride before launching. We do not want Quagga or Zebra Mussels introduced into Utah. Lake trout fishing was good for small lake trout on most areas of the reservoir. Fish are in traditional areas on underwater under-water humps and points. Fishing Fish-ing for smaller lake trout from the confluence to Big Bend was very good for lake trout 18 to 24 inches. Trolling in 60 or more feet of water over the old river channel was working well. Use downriggers to troll spoons and minnow plugs a few feet off the bottom. Good colors for spoons and plugs include chartreuse, orange and white. If fish are concentrated try jigging. Good jig colors are white, brown and chartreuse. Try tipping jigs with a small chunk of sucker meat if you can see them on your graph but can't get them to bite with orange flesh and taste as good or better than a rainbow when cooked up on the grill. There's an overabundance of lake trout under 28 inches in the Gorge so do your part to help the fishery and keep a limit of eight fish. Reports Re-ports of slower fishing for larger lake trout. For larger lake trout try trolling with downriggers, steel or lead core lines in Jarvies, Sheep Creek, Linwood, Stateline, Antelope flat, Anvil Draw. Big lake trout eat big food so lures and jigs can be big also. Kokanee fishing reports are generally fair to good. Fishermen report catching fish in the Big Bend, Holmes crossing, pipeline, Sheep Creek, Hideout and Jarvies Jar-vies areas. Fish at depths from 40 to 50 feet using downriggers or lead core line. Use traditional kokanee gear like needlefish, wedding rings, triple teasers or any other small lure with erratic action. Using a dodger in front of the lure can sometimes help. Fish from 2 to 2.5 mph. Try slowing down to 1.8 to 2 mph if you fish on the graph but they won't bite. Also try slowing down if fishing after 9 a.m. Rainbow fishing continues to be good on most of the reservoir. res-ervoir. If fishing from a boat try trolling spoons or rapalas with downriggers or try long lining with at least 100 feet of line behind be-hind boat. Most colors of spoons and minnow lures will work but KAjny fine mol X fplawijjgilUrdikfl ftenvlarger i catt,aop.tfW clifldbnmentsjusti,twi)eek8'rt go with lures in the one to two inch size. Spring is the best time of year to catch large rainbows from shore at the Gorge. If bait fishing, try suspending a worm four to six feet below a bobber if fish are surfacing or close to surface. If fishing on bottom, try a worm and marshmallow combo to keep the bait off the bottom. Casting spoons, spinners or smaller crankbiats from shore also works well. Some cicadas and flying ants have been hitting the surface of the reservoir and the rainbows have been keying in on them. Fly fisherman can take advantage of this. In the Utah portion, Sheep Creek, Jarvies, Linwood Bay, Mustang Ridge and off the dam visitor center are all good locations to catch rainbows from shore. The reservoir was stocked with 450,000 rainbows this year. These smaller fish are easy to catch and great for kids to pursue. Fish 30 to 50 feet to catch the larger rainbows that are in the reservoir. Burbot Fishing: Try fishing with jigs late in the afternoon, early morning or at night on points coming into reservoir. These fish move deep so adjust your location accordingly. Still getting reports of burbot being iarvested ucaugh help control their population as they were illegally introduced to SEE FISH REPORT on C3 August 10 11: The Uintah High School football players and coaches will work with the youth (ages 8-14) in our community on their football skills and technique.

Introducing children of all ages to a hobby such as bird-watching bird-watching just got easier, thanks to the newly designed website http:www.backyardbirdcare. org. This site includes easy to follow tips for setting up and maintaining feeding areas and answers to frequently asked questions, as well as a coloring book, puzzles and much more. "You can easily enjoy quality time with your children with the information on this site," according to Peter Stangel with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. "You can build a bird feeder, hang it outside, and the variety of birds that come to feed." Parents can also help their children set up bird feeding and water stations following the 6 Steps on the website. These steps help ensure clean and healthy feeding areas, and make bird-watching bird-watching even more enjoyable. "When the family is new to birdwatcbing, they have a lot of questions," stated Sue Hays, Executive Director of the Wild Bird Feeding Industry. "Where should I set up feeders? How do I keep them clean? And, when your three year old asks why the bird eats seeds it helps to have a website that answers those questions." Children will truly enjoy the discoveries made watching their native bird species in their own backyard. Many books are available to assist with bird identification, and parents may also provide each child with a journal. "This is a wonderful opportunity oppor-tunity for children to document which birds have visited the feeder, as well asarecordof which feeds are used and when the feeders were cleaned," Stangel said. This is an excellent summer adventure to share with friends, neighbors, and even classmates. "It takes the typical back to school essay titled 'What I did this summer' to a whole new level," Hays added. "It shows great responsibility, even if your just about education.
