| GENERAL: Virtually no information has come in this week. Conservation officers and biologists have been so busy with the deer hunt that they haven't had time to check the few fishermen who are out there. Traditionally, some of the best fishing of the year occurs during the deer rifle hunt. Winter is almost here. Better grab that pole for one last fishing trip! Brian Honey with a nice brown trout caught on the Green River. Despite cold temperatures, some die-hard anglers are continuing to fish. ABAJO MOUNTAINS: No report. HUNTINGTON RESERVOIR: (also known as Mammoth Reservoir at the top of Fairview Canyon) Anglers continue to use nightcrawlers from the east shoreline for 13- to 15-inch tiger trout. This water is closed to the possession of cutthroat trout. JOES VALLEY RESERVOIR: Aquatics Biologist Justin Hart had good success trolling a 1/4-ounce black jighead with a 3-inch chartreuse curlytail grub, tipped with chub meat. Aquatics Manager Paul Birdsey did well with a 3/8-ounce silver and chartreuse spoon. Most fish are under 15 inches and consist of splake, cutthroat and tiger trout. The reservoir closes to fishing on November 1 to protect spawning splake. The reservoir reopens on December 9. LASAL MOUNTAINS: No report. SCOFIELD RESERVOIR: Tom Ogden |
