Don't forget the rivers below the dams. I fished the Provo this week under
Jordanelle and Deercreek. We did alright and of course the Green although
while we tired to fish they raised it to 3600 and the next day to 4500cfs.
Really messed up the fishing.

At the moment, the lakes and reservoirs will be the ONLY place to fish.
The river's are roaring and it is really a great sight! The Weber, which
has been a low 200 cubic feet for the past five years will be running
over 2000! This is just what the river needs to scour out the muck that
has been collecting in the nice holes during the drought. I am sure it
will help bring back the glory days for that river.
I went up to East Canyon reservoir yesterday after school and really
enjoyed the outing even though the fishing was poor (my fishing buddy and
I only managed to catch one fish each) It was good to be out on the water
under blue and sunny skies
I attached my 3 horsepower Tanaka outboard to my kick boat which added
to the fun. I found I could tow my friend's kick boat by having him hang
on to my anchor rope. I would haul him up wind a good distance and then
we would just let the wind blow us back, fishing as we went.
It worked great! The only problem was that the propeller would lift a
bit out of the water with each wave if I tried going too fast. But we
were in no hurry and took a slower pace. Later in the evening the wind
died down and I was really able to make a wake running the motor at top
speed.
This was kind of a "test run" for the motor and the first time I tried
towing someone. It would work very well on Strawberry since the place I
like to fish has a prevailing breeze which always blows you back in the
direction of the launch site.
Let's set a date to go up together. Next week looks bad since it is the
last "real" week of school and a lot is going on. Next Saturday and
Memorial Day I already have commitments. But Friday, June 3rd, is the
first day of summer vacation and I would like nothing better to start it
on Strawberry. Weather willing, why don't we plan to meet up in Heber
around 7:00 AM? I'll bring my extra pontoon boat.
Or, if you are really anxious to get out I can meet you at my home any
evening around 3:00 pm and we can hit one of the local reservoirs near my
place: East Canyon, Lost Creek, Echo, Rockport , Smith Morehouse, Pineview
and Causey are all an hour or less from my house. If we are in the water
by 5:00 we can enjoy good evening fishing until 8:30 or 9:00.

Tom: I want to go today. I've been thinking about you and your
fishing lately. I am in the process of buying a pontoon boat. That
could open some potential for us.... I am interested. No problem this
year with finding water to fish.

Good to hear you got those waders, Larry. When do you want to go to
Strawberry?

Try Stearns brand. I bought mine through BigCamo.com because I am a
big
guy. Try a Google search for Stearns, and retailers. Also look at
Cabela's. They have a wide range of prices in their wader
selection.

Hey all,
My family is planning a vacation to Yellowstone in late summer
(finally
a vacation!) and I am looking for some fairly inexpensive (<$150)
breathable chest waders. The Hodgman Wadelite waders fit the bill.
I
was wondering if anyone has any positive or negative comments about
them
on or off list or has any other suggestions. I am getting so excited
I
can hardly stand to be around myself!
Thanks in advance,
Bruce Whittle
