Good Rememorys Pat, I have fond memories of all
Of those spots and many trips with you! We fished together “back in the good old days” at many of those spots. I think I was in a few of those trips mentioned! The best walleye fishing I ever had in Utah was below yuba one spring when the spray from water pouring over the damn and rocks made us wear rain gear, we got 40 between 3 of us I caught 23 in a half day biggest was six pounds plus! Conditions and vandals closing that area make it a memory that will never repeat I’m
Sure. Remember the all nighters we used to do in our float tubes at Willard bay! I recall one trip where I drifted off literally and figuratively into a nice slumber in my tube one morning at Willard, you snagged my line and started tugging trying to wake me up! After fearing you would pull my rod into the water you clipped my lure off. When I woke up an hour or so later and kicked back to where you where, I couldn’t figure how my lure broke off until you started laughing and told me the story and held up my lure!!’
Great memories and lots of GREAT fishing!!
Don’t want this to be negative, there is still a lot of great fishing in Utah and with better water and habitat, changing management strategies I expect a lot more great fishing opportunities! Lake Powell for one is seeing an uptick in fishing already with improving water levels and newly flooded habitat that had growth when the lake was down. The next several years should be very good! LMB and crappie numbers are improving quality of the stripers is already improved. Let’s all look forward to lots of great fishing in Utah! But fun to look back too!!
