Put your HANCOCK on it. PLEASE

For any of you not sure about what is going on with Kolob reservoir. There was a petition passed around last year at local gas stations to change Kolob back to state regulations(bait fishing and 4 fish bag limit). The division of wildlife put together a committee to see what the best management plan would be for Kolob. The committee full of non fishers and cabin(trailer) owners was a very bias committee with a definite agenda, and did not use facts to come up with there plan.

The goals of the DWR 10 years ago was to lower amount of fish put into Kolob, it was to expensive stocking the lake so much, due to amount of fish harvested. Keep a healthy population of Colorado Cutthroat in reservoir, so Cutthroat can control size and population of golden shiners. Kolob has been proven to do all of the above goals, but since petition, DWR is turning there back on management plan and scientific data. If you would like more detail, facts, please email me at kolobflyfishing@hotmail.com

I finally have it ready. If you haven't got a chance to sign the petition to protect the fishery and the Colorado cutthroat in Kolob Reservoir here it is. Also, if you know of anyone that would be willing to post it on there site or blog to help with signatures it would be a big help. Let everyone you know to sign it, we need as many signatures as we can. My goal is 20,000.

Trout and Turkeys

Today Josh and I headed up to see if we catch some fish trying to spawn. How rude are we trying to catch these guys while trying to do their prehistoric dance of love. It was great. I met a guy by the name of Neal G. He is a member of the southern Utah anglers and was part owner of the late red rocks. Kind of funny, he was wearing a orange fishing shirt and fishing in flip flops. Looked really familiar. We talked and fished most of the time talking about how ridiculous it would be to change the regulations on Kolob. Not a family fishery huh? Ty had my niece up there and a family started fishing the same bank we were on, no joke at least 4 kids running around. We also saw some of those towable cabins owners all over that every ones talking about. Families all over, kind of weird I guess when they say not family friendly there thinking about those late night fires with drunks yelling obscenities all night? I made a good friend with Neal and we've planned to meet up for a little Panguitch fishing. Fishing was good, but company was great. I've enjoyed meeting all sorts of awesome fishermen this season.

On our way home Josh spotted a turkey on some land that I knew about where we could hunt. He jumped out of the truck and popped it. Pretty good shot, and now I have some marabou for some streamers from a Kolob turkey.

they worked!

Who's with me?

I am planning on going to the DWR meeting coming up in Beaver next week. They will be voting on the current propositions for the southern region, specifically Kolob regulations. If anyone is interested in carpooling shoot me an email. Lets go and fight like we did for hb187. I think our efforts will be appreciated, signing a petition is easy, but showing up and voicing our opinions should go a long way. Who's with me?

SAY NO TO KRAK

KRAK (Kolob reservoir advisory committee). This is a sorry excuse to push the regulations back to bait fishing for grown men that can't catch fish on anything but bait. They are using families and kids as excuses to get further with DWR. Kolob has been a better fishery since the regulations have changed to artificial lure or fly only. They have stats about the amount of fish being caught since regulations being changed catch rate down 10%, but what they don't put in is the average size of fish being caught 35 mm longer, and 127 grams heavier . This committee is a joke, and using families and children to catch/harvest more fish is sorry excuse. People act as if there is no where they can take there kids, this is the only lake in our area besides Minersville that has special regulations. Is it a coincidence that these two lakes have the biggest fish in the lakes named below? Take your kids your so worried about to Panguitch, Navajo lake, Grandpas pond, Quail lake, Beaver mountain lakes, and all of the fishing ponds strung about St. George. Better yet, take some time with your kids and teach them a way to fish that doesn't involve sitting around drinking beer, and slapping your high school buddy's ass talking about the good old days. Even better, drive your trailer to one of those lakes. Cabin owners. LOL. Its called fishing, not catching. Read it for yourself and talk to the committee and let them know what you think.
