Thought I'd give a report on the ice fishing contest over on Steinaker Reservoir near Vernal held on the 18th.
I spoke with a couple park rangers that were wandering around on the ice and they told me they had only 35 entries. Based on what I observed during the measuring, I think only about a half dozen fish were caught all day. Personally, I managed to not catch anything and didn't have to bother with measuring or cleaning fish.
The park had a number of prizes that were given away during a raffle after the measuring. Seemed like most people managed to win something.
Park rangers indicated that this will be an annual event so look towards next year for announcements.
I have no photos of my lack of fish.
