Big fish business Sport fishing is a multi-million dollar business in Utah, according accor-ding to Division of Wildlife Resources license sales records. In 1987, over 250,000 Utah residents bought fishing or combination com-bination licenses at a cost of just over $5.25 million. Another 125,000 nonresidents purchased fishing licenses in 1987, for an additional ad-ditional $1.5 million. Anglers spend many times the cost of a license each year on equipment and travel to a favorite fishing spot. Nonresident anglers, like other vacationers, spend an average of $40 a day during their stays in Utah. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources uses money collected from the sale of fishing licenses to support it's fisheries management manage-ment program. In 1988, over one million catchable-sized trout will be stocked into lakes and reservoirs reser-voirs across the state. Climbing championship at Snowbird The first International Sport Climbing Championship to be held in North America will be contested this weekend, June 11 and 12, at Snowbird Ski and Summer Sum-mer Resort. Climbers began arriving at the first part of this week, with an open qualifying round opening the competition on June 8 and 9. Four climbers from that round qualify to compete with at least 36 of the top sport climbers in the world Saturday and Sunday. Spectators are welcome to come out and see the climbers try to conquer the 115-foot artificial wall constructed on the side of the Cliff Lodge for the event. That wall, costing $155,000, weighs 6,000 pounds and consists of three sections. The sections were built using fiberglass resin reinforced plywood. The climbing surface is composed of fine garnet crystals to create the required surface friction, and a color which blends with the natural cliffs in Little Cottonwood Canyon. 1 ' Y I - J ' ' ... - , ) . v 4 I 1H l' jf -Y iV ; iT iTaia nftfr-ij.-.-..--j--.:. -.- --as- ... . -rt-. .a, g. .. . -,yafc Speaking of rumpus, team captain of the Potguts Jess Reid gets himself into a bit of skirmish with Get Leied member Frank Bell.

Noaker qualifies for cycling nationals by RANDY HANSKAT Record staff writer You know it's summer when you hear of the exploits of Tom Noaker on the road. Over the past two weekends, Noaker posted some fine early season results, qualifying in one race for the National Road Championships to be held in July in Pensacola, Florida. That race was held last Saturday, June 4 in Elberta, Utah. It was the Utah District Time Trials, covering 40 kilometers. Noaker said the course, located on the west side of Utah Lake, is flat, but was far from easy due to high winds. None of that seemed to stifle Noaker, however, as he placed second se-cond in the Veteran class. That result qualified Noaker for the nationals na-tionals in Pensacola July 16-19. Over the Memorial Day weekend, Noaker was in Durango, Colorado competing in the Ironhorse Classic. That event consists of three races, a 50-mile road race, a one-hour criterium, and a 30-mile mountain bike race. It is a United States Cycling Cycl-ing Federation event, and is a national na-tional prestige race (meaning it boasts at least $10,000 in prizes and has national points). Over 1,500 racers competed. Noaker finished fourth in the Vet class in the road race and eighth in the criterium. In the criterium, Noaker said three feet decided the top 15 positions at the finish line. Noaker didn't race in the moun tain bike event, but two other locals did. Jeff Murray won the expert division. divi-sion. Rich Perrier won the Vet division. divi-sion. Although the results were good, Noaker wasn't satisfied. He said the elevation in the Durango area was higher than here. In the road race, for instance, two mountain passes, one at 10,800 feet, one at 11,200 feet, had to be crossed. Noaker said he hasn't been above Royal Street yet this year in his training. Also, he didn't know the course, he said. It takes experience to know the right gearing and strategy. The next race for Noaker will be this weekend in Harriman, Utah-the Utah Road Race. It is another national qualifying race. |
