Show Sun Advocate A Tuesday, May IB, 1989 f U athletes honored at banquet i CEU By LAYNE MILLER Sports editor Nelson Stretch Stewart and Cindy Jones from Emery County were named the athletes of the year at the CEU athletic banquet Saturday night. The awards were among several presented to the outstanding athletes at the college for their accomplishments of the past year. The highlight of the night for those in attendance was listening to University of Utah head football coach Jim Fassel relive the victory over B YU last year 57-2- 8. Fassel said when he first moved to Utah from Stanford and faced the Y for the first time he complained to LaVell Edwards that the game wasnt fair. My players were all whose mothers had just called them that morning to make sure they had brushed their teeth and combed their hair and LaVells kids were all returned missionaries who ran out onto the field waving goodby to their wife and kids. The former pro football player said he grew up around sports and advised the athletes in attendance to be grateful that someone cared enough to get them involved with sports. It doesnt matter really what sport it is, Fassel said, You are associated with the cream of the crop, be glad someone cared enough about you to get you involved. He said some of the best advice he has heard was given to his football team last year, called FIMO. It stands for, forget it and move on, he explained, If you feel like life is tough and too hard make a commitment to be your best, then forget it and move on.

According to Larry Curtis, fishing specialist from Gart Brothers Sporting Goods, the setup along with fins, vest, and rod and reel gives fishermen access to almost any pond or lake in the state. Curtis explained that with the gear and a you can fish almost anywhere. They tell me its a ball, he said. Currently, the most popular lures are little silver ones called Little Cleo lures. Counterparts in the Kastmaster line are silver, and silver with red spots. The lures are used at Joes Valley to catch splake, four-wheel- rainbows er and albino rainbows. Curtis pointed out that for some real excitement, anglers should try a weighted nymph fly, dragged along the bottom of Huntington Creek, for the big ones, he said. The current rage in reels is the new quick-fir- e release reels. Instead of holding the line on the spinning reel when you cast, the new reels provide a trigger you pull as you cast which releases the lure and line for you. Varieties are made by several manufacturers. Good quality closed-fac- e reels are still popular too. Rods have followed the same construction materials that tennis rackets and raquetball rackets have. They have turned to high-tec- h materials such os boron and graphite to add strength and versatility while creating a s ? $ &&&& Carbon High School hosted a high school rodeo at the Carbon County Fairgrounds last lightweight rod. It is still possible to buy a good quality rod without emptying your pocketbook. For the dedicated angler the best way to fish the Linkers is with a downrigger. For the weekend worm drowner, a downrigger is a device to lower your line and lure to great depth using a steel cable and heavy weight. When the downrigger reaches the desired depth and the fish strikes the lure, it is released from the downrigger and you bring the fish in with the rod and reel. Curtis explained that this method was used on Flaming Gorge to catch the world record lake trout last summer.

Local boxing club visits The Price Elks Boxing Club entered six boys from the local club in a boxing smoker held at Craig, Colo., Saturday, May 6. i fish biologist Walt Donaldson. He said because of the drought last year and low snowpackthis winter, Scofield lost almost the entire planting of fingerlings for the last two years. Also, along with other problems, fishing is fair to poor at the Carbon County reservoir and he suggests alternative sites for fishermen. The first spot Donaldson recommended is Joes Valley Reservoir. The water offers three exciting species offish rainbow, albino rainbow and splake. He explained that splake are a cross between a female lake trout and a male brook trout. The sterile hybrid is excellent eating and is a deep water fish that is fun to catch. The splake are biting silver spoons and spinners in the evenings in about 20 feet of water. Joes Valley is an excellent place to fish with good angler access with a boat ramp, two concessionaires, a Forest Service campground with water u Besides cutthroat, rain- bows and bluehead suckers can be found. The canyon houses rock art, deer and elk, plus in the evening Wrigley Springs reservoir on top of the canyon is excellent for anglers using black flies and a bubble to catch rainbows. Electric Lake is a good spot for boat fishing. Cutthroat abound and most are natives. Donaldson advises anglers not to use junk bait such as marshmallows and floating bait because the wild fish will only hit natural bait such as worms, flies and grasshoppers. He advises the best time is in the early morning, trolling with a triple teaser. The lake has a good boat ramp on the upper end, which was improved last year with the cooperation of the DWR, Utah State Parks, Forest Service and Utah Power & Light. He advises visitors to treat the area with respect for it is on UP&L property and the right to use it can be revoked. Also available to Carbon County anglers are two new waters near Hovenweep National Monument. Lloyds Lake is found one mile west of Monticello and is loaded with 3 inch rainbows. Donaldson explained it is a beautiful area 10 miles from Canyon-land- s and 12 miles from N Rock State Park. The three-yea- r old facility has a Forest Service campground four miles away in the Blue Mountains. Four miles north of Bland-in- g is Recapture Reservoir. It is on the highway leading into Blanding and features outd rainbows. standing Fishing is most sucessful using red and bronze lures. The water also has a primitive boat ramp which was the old highway. The DWR along with the Price River Water Inprove-men- t District and the State Bureau of Water Pollution Control will use the low water at Scofield to conduct bacteria and nutrient test. The purpose of the testing is to determine whether there is a health problem in the reservoir, to identify the source of the nutrients entering the water and plan a course of action to reduce them. 10-1- ews-pap- pan-size- i er |
