It ail depends where you are By Robert Grtumen What happen when you have a blue ribbon trout fishery within short driving distance of two major metropolises? Where do we begin? Elbow to elbow River Runa Through It want to be's. Over crowded runs to say the least, Sore lips, (the fish of course) No parking, with ten million Grand Cherokee and Explorers parked in every nook and wide space along the road. Every available stretch taken, with most of the idiots standing in the middle of the best part Yuppie arguments, reds trampled, tempers tested, etc. etc. Can you think ofa few more? Oh there are thousands and everyone is correct By now you know of course I am referring to the Lower Provo River in Provo Canyon. Anyone who has driven the canyon for the last few years have seen the hordes of fisherman, (myself included) packed in cm the river. Yes its a blue ribbon river, 3500 fish per mile is hard to ignore but please enough is enough. Certainly there are other places to fish, but with the same results? You better it believe Maybe it's the prestige and the chance to try out the new expensive equipment that attracts the huge crowds to the Provo river. A lot of fisherman catch a lot of nice trout Advice on Olympic games given to Utah tribes by Canadian Indian Ute Tribe Business Committee member Larry Blackhair has a big job. Hes taken on the responsibility of coordinating activities between American Indian Tribes and the Salt Lake Organising Committee (SLOC). Blackhair has already esit tablished the Native American 2002 Foundation, which is positioned for possible designation by Olympic officials as the official licensee to sell authentic American Indian-mad- e goods bearing the non-prof- Olympic symbol. He recently got some good advice from Sykes Powderface, an Indian from Canada who joined Calgarys organising committee late in ita preparations for the 88 games to oversee Indian-relate- d affairs. Powderface, who was in Salt Lake meeting with Native Americans involved in the Salt Lake 2002 Winter Games, came at Blackhairs request to pass out pointers on what tribes can do to capitalise on having the Olympics so close to home. "It was one of the most rewarding challenges I've experienced, Powderface said of his involvement in the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary. "It was fun and the impact was lasting. He believes Utahs Native Americans can have the same succesa as long as they play by rules established1 by the International Olympic Committee, - . Blackhair recently brought representatives of several tribes and their products to meet with Olympic marketing officials. Should the Native American 2002 Foundation win the right to market under the Olympic symbol, it will mean more work and more money for producers on and off reservations across the country. Powderface says economic considerations must be second in importance to the chance tribes will have through marketing to dispel stereotypical perceptions oflndiana. You will want to be seen as you are today, people very much within the mainstream ofsociety. You have excelled in business, education, technology.

With regulations that allow the angler to keep two browns under 15 inches, there are a lot of 20 inch educated, smart wily Browns. Large numbers offish have obviously been caught by the hook marks and battle wounds from anglers. Some fisherman think its time to let a few of the big ones be kept to save death of advanced old age. Rivers like the Green have allowed fisherman to keep one fish over 20 inches. Strawberry reservoir has moved in the same direction. Almost all of the guides from Salt Lake and Provo are taking their clients to the River. The Green River is a distant second. This is a good barometer to where the great fishing is like a restaurant with all the big rigs parked in front indicating great food. But just like truckers top where its convenient, fisherman also fish where its convenient and close. But it doesnt have to be there are several great fisheries where a angler can have the same results. Another thirty miles and the avid can be on the upper Provo river, above the Jordanelle Reservoir. Although the river is at the mercy of the mountain with its headwaters 10 miles above Woodland and the runoff lasting until July, the fishing can be productive with plenty of rainbows, Browns, Cutthroats and white fish. The section of the Provo River between the Jordanelle Continued from page 1 and wind were some ofthe hazards the Walleye fisherman had to deal with. Some fisherman were not very successful and on the first day and were hopingfor better weather on day two. The weather improved, but the lead the Penaltons had from their first day proved to be unsurmoun table. The tournaments 4th place finishers were also thenumber one mixed couple team winners. Laurel Melshert and Terry Burfoeck won $700 dollars for the fourth place overall finish and $350. for their 1st place finish in the mixed team division. Ive fished in a lot of tourneys, Burbek said, but this is the first one for Laurel. She did great. Terry and Laurel spent their two days fishing basically the same area, near the bridge.

TAX ADVANTAGES CONTINUE goes to those efforts, but lawmakers have declined in recent years to provide the maximum funding allowed. Last year, for example, local and county anti-abuprograms received about $2.9 million although about $4.3 million was allowed under the law. The new cap would ensure that programs already slated to receive funding from liquor profits will continue to do so, said Mary Lou Bozich, the statewide coordinator for anti-abuprograms.

Johnson said he will contract Wyoming law enforcement officials to coordinate investigative efforts. What will the thieves do with the starter motors? Johnson says there are several theories about how they can be unloaded, but nothing firm. The actual unit, iflefl in tact, could be used for another oil pump. But the parts inside are also expensive and could be sold separately, he commented. Investigators speculate that the thefts were planned for the holiday weekend when activity around the locations would be minimal so a great distance could be covered by the thieves.
