Moving Waters includes a radio documentary to be played on KZMU, an eight-pantraveling exhibit to be displayed at the MARC, a Law of the River lecture focusing on the history of water rights, a book discussion series based on A Colorado River Reader, and the web site www.movingwater.org. MARC board member Bruce Hucko is coordinating the event. He and a small committee have been meeting for several months to develop and fund complementary community programming. Taken all together this springs Moving Waters event could serve as a model for a continuing Moab River Festival. Whether we acknowledge it consciously or not, the Colorado River runs through our lives in much the same way it runs through the land," states Hucko. For some of us it is quiet calm water hardly nowanticed in our derings. For others it is a raging torrent that exists at the sharp edge of our perception. For all of us living in Moab or those visiting, the Colorado River is a living force that has both shaped the land we love and given some form to the quality of life we pursue here. Moving Waters is an opportunity for the community of Moab to come together to explore, celebrate and express one of the great natural land forces that binds us together."

Thats the highest number of angler days ever recorded in Utah," he says. Our hatchery system is stocking 10 million fish each year, but were not capable of stocking more. To provide anglers with consistent fishing, we need to spread the fish we have out over a longer period limit of time. The four-trowill help us do that, but anglers need to obey the regulation for it to work. t Having the limit should also make it easier for anglers to know what the limit is.

Good fly patterns include a green or brown Sheep Creek Special, red leech and green leech. Bait fishing remains poor to fair. Please remember that fishing is not allowed in the tributaries until July 13th in order to protect spawning fish. The boat ramp to Madsen Bay will be closed until May 20th, due to paving of the parking area. However, the Mountain View boat ramp remains in operation. Aquatics Manager Louis Berg reminds anglers that much of the land around the reservoir is private. Anglers should keep vehicles off the shore-- ; line and fish only in designated areas.
