Such a good time was had by all that they plan on doing it again next year and hope they have more teams enter. when its convenient for them, rather than when its best for catching fish. To avoid frustration, fish at first light or just before dark. To escape the heat of summer, trout retreat to deep, cool water, where they are more comfortable. They make brief forays into shallower water only when the sun is down and the water is cool. For that reason, its often more effective to fish from a boat. Sergeant Carl Gramlich suggests that anglers select high mountain lakes, where the water is colder and fish are more active. Gramlich says artificial flies will be especially good this time of year. He encourages anglers to pattern their artificial fly after the bug hatches which occur. Stream fishing is sometimes easier than lake fishing this time of year. Stream water temperatures are colder and banks are shady. Riverine trout are less stressed than those in lakes, and are more inclined to attack a lure or take bait. Because of the abundance of insects, a good angler strategy is match- - ing the hatch.

For the first time ever, Utah archery buck deer permits sold out before the general hunt ended in 2004 (permits sold out on August 30, nine days into the y hunt). To ensure they get a permit this year, Division of Wildlife Resources officials are encouraging hunters to buy their permits as soon as possible. General deer hunting permits are selling out in Utah earlier and earlier every year, says Judi Tutorow, wildlife licensing coordinator for the DWR. Plenty of archery permits are available right now, and we encourage hunters to get them before 28-da- theyre gone. As of July 20, more than 6,600 statewide general archery buck deer permits were still available. Permits may be purchased at the DWRs Web site (wildlife.utah.gov), at DWR offices and from more than 190 hunting license agents statewide.
