Good report. Cure for cabin fever. I assume that your motor is electric....? This is what I plan to do. I need to make sure that the pontoon boat I buy is rated for my weight. Regarding schedules, I am three weeks into the summer term. I teach MWF mornings until noon. I don't teach Tuesday or Thursday. I could be prepared to leave school at noon, with everything in my vehicle and head north to rendezvous with you. Let's make it happen.
Larry J >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/20/05 5:40 PM >>> 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 On May 20, 2005, at 8:40 AM, Larry Johnson wrote: > Tom: I want to go today.
