Show Opening of Fishing Season Complete Success by Laren Roper Conservation Officer The opening week end of fishing fish-ing in southern Utah could be termed no other way than completely com-pletely successful. Probably the best fishing was out west at the Upper Enterprise. Fishing was so good, in fact, that many folks couldn't resist taking more than the bag limit Also the Pine Valley Reservoir produced many full creels of fish. Baker Reservoir was very good with nice size fish. Newcastle was hot and should continue to be good well Into the season. Higher in the mountains, Yankee Yan-kee Meadow Reservoir was very good, however, most of the fish were caught before 7 a. m. Sunday Sun-day fishing slowed down but Yankee Yan-kee is expected to continue to produce good fishing. Paragonah Reservoir, Duck Creek, and Aspen Mirror Lake were all good early Saturday morning. Navajo Lake was good fishing until the wind and hail drove fishermen off the lake Saturday afternoon. Panguitch Lake was very hot with fish ranging from 10 to 12 inches. Otter Creek Reservoir In Garfield Gar-field Co. produced well with fish averaging 3 to 4 pounds. This reservoir should be good throughout through-out the summer. In general throughout the state fishing was good and it is expected to continue particularly in the southwestern sector of the state. |
