Low water and lingering fair weather have combined to create some of the best fall and early winter fishing in years, according to Division of Wildlife Resources fishery biologist Jim Johnson. He says reports from throughout the state this week indicate good to excellent fishing. Reservoirs turning out nice catches of trout include Scofield, East Canyon, Lost Creek, Steinaker, Koosharem, Panguitch and Joes Valley. Conditions are especially good for stream fishing, says Johnson. "Fly fishing on the Green River below Flaming Gorge is fantastic, and were seeing a lot of five-poun- d rainbows and cutthroats. Johnson says fishing is also good for brown trout on the Provo River below Deer Creek Reservoir. The river is low, and conditions are perfect for fly fishing. Johnson suggests grey or green scud patterns on both the Green and the Provo. In northern Utah, both the Logan and Blacksmith Fork rivers are providing excellent fishing for brown trout. A recent population .study of the Blacksmith Fork River showed huge number of trout below the second dam, where bait is legal. The Weber and Ogden rivers are offering the best fishing of the year right now. The lower reaches of both rivers, near the town of Ogden, are stocked every two weeks with catchable sized rainbow trout. In Ogden Canyon, below the Pineview Dam, anglers report good fishing for brown trout. Johnson says the good fishing should continue statewide The Utah Travel Councils 1987 Life Needs a Lift. insert features inforThe winter advertising campaign is off and running.
