Flaming Gorge Reservoir The DWR will also recommend two changes aimed at improving kokanne salmon fishing at Flaming Gorge Reservoir.Under DWR proposals, the lake trout limit would be increased to 6 lake trout and fishing for kokanee salmon in the reservoir would not be allowed from Oct. 1 to Nov. 7. Kokanee salmon usually go through a cycle.Numbers are good for two years, then they decline for two years and then they come back up, Pettengill said. Kokanee salmon numbers havent increased from the last down cycle and our biologists believe predation by lake trout is the reason. There are lots and lots of young lake trout in the reservoir and we need help from anglers to reduce the popula- tion. Under DWR proposals, the combined trout and kokanee salmon limit would remain at 6 fish, but all of those fish could be lake trout. The kokanee salmon limit would remain at three fish and anglers could have only one lake trout over 28 inches. This regulation would keep plenty of big lake trout in the reservoir while helping reduce the number of smaller fish, he said. The Wyoming Game & Fish Department is proposing a similar lake trout limit in 2004 for the Wyoming side of Flaming Gorge. The DWR will also recommend that fishing for kokanne salmon in the reservoir not be allowed from Oct. 1 to I Wyoming has closed kokanne salmon fishing on their side of the reservoir during the spawning season and more anglers are coming to the Utah side to fish for kokanees, he said. That increased pressure is impacting the population. We believe this closure will protect the population and improve kokanee fishing.

Do you Answer by Jerry L. Utah State University Extension Horticulturist Although it is more work, finished, neat edges can make a landscape look polished and attractive. Lawn areas may look green and lush, but if the edges are uneven or untrimmed, the whole yard can seem unkempt. Consider these tips to keep your landscape tidy.' Good-spee- Remove and prevent grass from growing where it cannot be easily reached by a mower. This helps reduce edging time. Spray a non-selecti- herbicide such as Round-uor Finale to kill the grass and weeds around trees, fence posts, walls and rocks.

There is no perfect edging material, however. Each has benefits and drawbacks. Thick black rubber edging material holds its shape for many years, but can be expensive. Cheaper vinyl and plastic products are inexpensive, but tend to lose their shape over time. Redwood eventually wears out but is attractive and natural looking for many years. Cement, bricks and other hard materials last for many years, but can also be costly. Cement edging appears cold in a landscape and makes it difficult to change the shape of beds. Bricks are usually very move-ablbut can be too mobile at times. Visit your local nursery e, or home improvement store to see available options. A cost-fre- e option to maintain a clean appearance and keep grass in its place is to cut a 6 inch deep line between the bed and grass with a spade or shovel. A small scoop shovel leaves the straightest edge. This process needs to be repeated two or three times a year. Though it is cost free, it creates more regular work than the other methods.
