Timee-3rfinthn- - Thursday, July 3, 2003 tt Moab Rotary announces scholarship winners after the second trimester and The On May 14, members of the Moab Rotary Club had the opportunity to meet with seven of Grand County High School's outstanding seniors. The purpose was to decide which three would be eligible for $1,000 college scholarships for the 2003 2004 school year. The scholarship committee, comprised of Saina, Shirley O'Kelly, Janie Tuft, Bruce Louthan, and Sheryl Nisely, questioned the seniors about their high school careers, college plans, community comservice, leadership. mittee also considered comments from references who described the applicants - character, strengths, and weaknesses. All seven candidates exhibited strong skills and backgrounds, making the decisions difficult for the committee. After much deliberation, the following students were chosen to each receive $1,000 toward the college of their choice. Ashley Schultz, who graduated and has already started college classes, will continue her studies in Nursing at the College of Eastern Utah in Blanding. Kira Day plans on attending Utah State University and majoring in Business. The final recipient, Mike Taylor, also plans to attend Utah State, but will enroll in their Agricultural program. The Rotary Club feels these three students will be positive representatives of Grand County, and wishes them well in their college careers. Go to the high country if you want great fishing in Utah If you want to beat the drought and enjoy good fishing all summer, head to Utah's high country where hundreds of lakes and streams are teeming with trout. The water levels at most high elevation waters are much more stable than they are at lower and said Tom Pettengill, sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. The water level may decrease a few feet at high elevation waters, instead of the tens of feet it may drop elsewhere. Pettengill classifies a high elevation water as any water at least 7,000 feet in elevation. They include large reservoirs and lakes, such as Flaming Gorge, Scofield and Fish Lake, and hundreds of smaller lakes and streams. Many of these small lakes and streams are found on the Uinta and Boulder mountains. Several are also found on the mountains along the Wasatch Front, on the Beaver Mountains above Beaver and on Sal National Forest the Manti-Lin central Utah. Pettengill says most of these smaller lakes don't fluctuate much because water isnt drawn from them for irrigation and other uses. They also receive more rain and snow than waters at lower elevations and lose less water to evaporation because of cooler temperamid-elevation- s, a tures. Anglers dont need much gear to fish these small lakes and streams. A spinning rod and a bubble and a variety of lures or flies, or basic baits such as salmon eggs or worms, will work. The fish are usually feeding on small stuff so if you're using spinners. Id recommend a size 0 or 1, he said, if you're using flies, I'd recommend sizes ranging from 16 to no bigger than 10. One challenge to fishing these waters is reaching them. You can drive right up to some of them, while others may require a hike of anywhere from Pettengill said. to 5 miles, Consider your 1 physical limitations and be realistic about what you can do. Also, the weather in the high country can change quickly. Make sure a fleece jacket is included with the raingear in your backpack, and wear some good, waterproof boots for your hike. To find success, Pettengill encourages anglers to move around. On the Unitas and Boulders, several lakes are fairly close to each other, so if you dont find success at one lake, go to another. And dont overlook the streams, which can provide some great fishing. During the middle of the summer, anglers should fish during the mornings and evenings, when the temperatures are the coolest and the fish are most active. As it gets cooler later in the summer, you may want to fish in the middle of the day, when the temperatures are a little warmer and theres more insect activity, he said. Many high elevation lakes get so cold in the winter that the fish in them die. To know whether the lake youre visiting has fish in it, first look to see if its teeming with insect activity. If it is - but you dont see any fish activity - all of its fish were probably lost during the winter. Also, if you come to a lake and dont see any fish activity, don't give up on it, he said. Move to another lake to fish but visit that lake again, later in the day. Your timing might have been off a little and it might be teeming with insect and fish activity the second time you visit it." U.S. Forest Service offices are some of the best places to find maps for high elevation lakes and streams in Utah. The Division of Wildlife Resources has also published a se- ries of Lakes of the High Unitas booklets. They may be purchased at the DNR Map & Bookstore, 1594 W.
