[cool]Nice job, Pat. I'm guessing that the number of licenses has declined due in part to the "new" regulations at 'da berry. I've heard some old timers tell me that they don't want to fish it anymore "since you can't really keep anything." Old habits die hard I guess. There's still that mentality in this state that if you can't take 8 15 inch trout home with you, then "it ain't worth it." People like that don't realize that it's folks just like them that screwed up the fishery anyway because there weren't any cut's left that were big enough to eat the chubs in there, that (probably) same type of guy took live chubs there to use as bait in the first place, thus re-introducing chubs back in the lake.
Sorry, just had to vent a little. O.k., off my soapbox I go.
On a different note, I'm glad to hear that they are getting a warm water hatchery going. It will be nice to get more bass, Wipers, walleye, bluegills, crappies (and whatever else they plan on raising in there) into our warmwater fisheries, like Utah Lake, Willard, Pineview, etc...
