When The Weather's Nice,
Go Fishing
We're moving into the time of year when some days will be warm and very nice, and others will be cold and miserable. Hard to plan ahead. Best to stay flexible and fish when conditions are favorable.

Taking my own advice, I tried fly fishing today. Took a long lunch hour and fished the Lower Provo. I was particularly careful because I didn't want to go back to work smelling like fish. Turns out I didn't need to worry.

I was hurrying, trying to get the most out of my limited time. Cast a bead-head haresear into a likely spot and let it drift down toward an overhang. Bingo, I got snagged. Swept my rod up a couple times and broke off the nymph.

Tied on another and almost instantly got it snagged on the backcast. Jerked it and broke off the nymph. I was trying 6X tippet, trying to fool those picky browns.

Climbing over some snow-covered logs, I broke through the crust and slipped. I had my line in my hand and jammed in hook into my right index finger. Deep. Had to grab the hook with forceps and twist to get it out. Ouch.

By then my time was up. Still, it was fun getting out, wading and casting.

I'm scheduled to hike in Arches National Park next weekend, if the weather cooperates. Need to take photos in the backcountry. I'm starting to worry about snow and cold down there. Recent storms have hit hard in southeastern Utah and Moab still has some snow. When we've been in the mid or upper 40s, they have been in the low or mid 30s.

Southwestern Utah has been sunny and nice. If I can't do Arches, maybe I'll head that direction.

I'm scheduled to jeep and hike The Maze in Canyonlands in early March. Hopefully, conditions will be back to normal by then.

Bald Eagle Day
This is a wonderful family activity that gives you a chance to view bald eagles in their natural setting. Watch them soar the sky and hunt in the fields. Spotting scopes will be set up. Driving map of Sanpete Valley will be given out, highlighting the best areas to view the eagles. There will be displays, pamphlets; volunteers and biologists will be available to answer questions. Bring Binoculars and cameras, however, a high power telephoto lens is a must if you choose to photograph, so the birds aren’t disturbed. The best times to see the greatest number of eagles is usually from 2 to 4 o’clock. Dress warmly and wear water proof boots. 445-3472
