We went to the Ouray Bird Refuge on May 28 to net birds, identify insects, end learn the proper ways on how to spray weeds. We caught the buds and put an appropriate sized tag on their leg. Then we idra-- 1 what kind of bird they were, I them and talked about how for they can fly in one day whra they migrate South and possibly where they go. At the insect identifying location, we caught some insects in the weeds on the aide ofthe road. We then used e microscope and identified whet kind of insect they were. We. learned the appropriate vuy to spray weeds. We also learned the appropriate clothing to wear. When you spray weeds you should wear long uealved shirts and pants and also wear amaak for your own safety. A few weeks later we went to e . lake that the Forest Service had . drained because of the water that was leaking out of it Wo walked around the bottom end eidee of the lake trying to find the holes or cracks that could be causing the leak. Upon finding these holes or creeks, we marked them with flags to identify them for the Forest Service. , On June 11, we went to Cottonwood Lake to net fish and test some of their weight and body fist to era how well the fish were progressing. We were divided into two groups of three with four nets to pull. Each group had the opportunity to go out, pull the nets in, and sort the firii out Ed Johnston was one of the Fish and Wildlife Rangers who helped us. There were three different kinds of pedes offish caught -- suckers, carp, end base. After pulling ell the nets in we took the fish to shore to weigh them and see how much fat they i fish are progressing. After netting fish, we went to an ostrich farm. We learned about how long it took them to develop an ostrich form end looked at some ostrich eggs that were hatching. Did trich egg to hatch.

Anglos are eAcoursged to voluntarily release all cutthroat and rainbow trout at Strewbory Reservoir, regardless of size.

' "When drought conditions ended in the early 1990s, reservoirs and streams rose and water quality improved, Pettengill said. Along with Out Came better survival and and better fishing growth of fish, - saxL Surveys in the 1970s and 1980s showed anglers spent an average of seven days a year fishing in Utah.

Strawberry access to fishing me To help assure anglers continue enjoying quality fishing experiences, changes must be implemented in future years. They will probably include: Reducing bag limits; helping shift pressure away from ovoutOized waters by improving fishing at underutilized ones; increasing angler interest in catching warm water species; promoting catch and release fishing; and, renovating hatcheries to meet growing demands for fish, Pettengill said. BLM okays drilling of 875 gas wells Bureau of Land Management Vernal District manager, David E. Howell, has approved the propoeed expansion of the Natural Buttes Natural Gas Unit which includes the drilling of 875 wells by Coastal Oil A Go Corporation. Based on the analysis of potential environment impact contained in the EA, I have determined that impacts are not exported to be significant and an Environmental Impact Statement ia not required, Howell stated. The unit encompasses approximately 122 square miles of 78,080 acres located about 26 miles south ofVemal and three miles southeast of Ouray. The unit is already extensively developed for natural gaa produ tion. Coastal believes that the pro ll posed development would enable the underdeveloped reserves in the unit to be produced. A total of eight letters were re--ceived during the 45-dpublic coni' ment period. Of these letters, one from ENRON Oil and Gaa Company voiced support for Coastals proposal, whereas three letters from individual river users voiced opposition to the proposal. in-fi- ay m Strawberry Reservoir is now Utahs premier cold water fishery, drawing large number of anglers who spent a total of 1j6 million hours fishing it in 1993, Pettengill . , . equipment, an interest in fishing among young people has grown through the decade, Pettengill said.
