Show T Sun Advocate Price, Utah Tuesday December 24, 2002 7A Fishing report for southeastern Utah Please remember to purchase a 2003 fishing license before conducting any fishing trips after the new year. Abajo and Blue Moun- tains. Conservation officer Randall Scheetz reports that there is no safe ice in San Juan County. Cleveland Reservoir. The reservoir is frozen but has been ignored by ice anglers. Electric Lake. The lake is partially frozen. Huntington Creek. The creek is frozen, except where the current is strong. The first mile below Electric Lake dam remains open. From Flood and Engineers Canyon upstream to the dam, only artificial flies may be used. Hie limit is two fish. Huntington North Reservoir. The reservoir is mostly frozen, but should be considered unsafe for ice fishing. Huntington Reservoir (near the top of Huntington Canyon). The reservoir is frozen with more than 16 inches of ice. Most ice fishing activity occurs near the dam. One angler reported good fishing with a chartreuse glitter jig tipped with a piece of Wildlife officials nightcrawler. He said he fished near the bottom and kept his jig moving. . Joes Valley Reservoir. Ice is forming on the east side, preventing shoreline angling. Since reopening, the reservoir has seen very little fishing pressure. Louis Berg, aquatics manager, encourages anglers to fish with lures rather than bait Fishing with lures will improve the survival of released fish, explained Berg. Research has shown that about 50 percent of fish caught and released with bait subsequently die, whereas less than five percent of fish caught on lures die. Good lure choices at Joes Valley Reservoir include spoons and brown, green or white plastic grubs. The limit is two trout. No more than one trout may be over 22 inches. All trout 13 to 22 inches must be immediately released. Millsite Reservoir. The reservoir is mostly open. Flyfishing near the dam from a float tube has been successful recently. Try using a number 10 green scud or dark (dark green, black, maroon) leech pattern.

Scofield Reservoir. The reservoir still has open water in the middle and on the north end. Most ice anglers are fishing the south end of the lake near the east side where the ice is six to 10 inches thick. Conservation officer Stacey Ihggart suggests using tiny, shiny lead head jigs. Tip the hook with a piece of meal worm. Small white jigs and small silver jigs have been working well Many of the trout are eight to 10 inches, although a fair number range from 18 to 22 indies. Fishing success has been good, especially in the early morning. Anglers will find one to two feet of snow blanketing the ice. Carbon Dinos sweep Emery Spartans at first region meet The Carbon High Dino wrestling squad hosted its first meet of the regular season.

Wildlife boardJ approves black bear hunting permits for next season LI I A total of 214 public black bear hunting permits were approved for Utahs 2003 seasons by the Utah Wildlife Board. Board members approved the permits after learning that the state's black bear populations are doing well Hie board, which consists of seven citizens appointed by the governor, approved the recommendations at a Dec. 17 meeting in Salt Lake City. Division of Wildlife Resources staff members and citizen representatives from Utah's five regional advisory councils were among those who presented recommendations to the board. Applications for 2003 Utah blade bear hunting permits will be available beginning Feb. 4, 2003. Applications must be received by 5 p.m. on March 3 to be included in the 2003 Black Bear Draw. Results will be posted by April 4. The 214 permits approved by the board were down slightly from the 217 permits approved for 2002. Craig McLaughlin, mammals coordinator for the DWR, says there are several indications that Utah's black bear populations are doing well. "It appears that black bear populations have increased statewide since 1990, when Utah began limiting the number of hunting permits offered I L in the state," McLaughlin explained. One of the best indications of this is on the Book Cliffs in Utah, where a black bear study has been underway since 1991. The DWR is providing most of the funding for the study, which is being conducted by Brigham Young University. "For eight of the 11 years of the study, most breeding female bears on the Book Cliffs study area produced litters of cubs and survival of female bears was high," McLaughlin stated. "That's great news." bears Also, while older-age- d have been observed in each year's mortalities (either taken by hunters or taken because they were killing livestock) since 1997, many of the bears that have died in Utah each year since then have been (two to four years old). McLaughlin says this prevalence of young bears indicates that there's been strong cub production statewide in Utah for several years. "This information supports the data collected from bears on the Book Cliffs and is a good indication of a growing bear population across the state," McLaughlin east-centr- al . sub-adul- ts radio-collar- black bear management plan.
