    Fishing in Salt Lake

    I just moved up to the Salt Lake City area last week for work and am dying to catch some trout. I prefer fishing rivers and streams but only using small tackle and spinners, I've never tried flycishing. I've been looking around on the Utah Game and Fish website but am having a hard time finding a listing of places to fish. Would someone please point me in the direction of a decent starting spot? I'm not looking for any secret holes filled with wallhangers, just would like to hike around these beautiful mountains and land a few trout. Thanks for your help. Daryl

    Fab 32 anyone?

    There's a few of us. I've been in Fab 12, 22, 32 over the last 2 1/2 years. I've been working the swing shift over on the 42 side for the last 3 weeks.

    Bank of America

    I already had a list of reasons why I won't do business with B of A before this was posted. This just adds more to it.
  5. Are there any plans yet for this years get together??? Have dates and ideas been thrown around yet? I went in 2009 and have missed the last 2 years. I would really like to go this year.

    Coues set

    Here are some pictures of a matching set of sheds a friend of mine found. I've had these pictures for a while and I asked him if he was okay with me posting them on here to share. The mass is unreal. Old buck?

    Eberlestock Just One Pack

    It's good to know somebody is getting good customer service from them. I have been trying for 4 months now to get my pack fixed. Last email I sent them was December 28th, 2011 asking if they received my previous email, sent 3 weeks earlier, with the pictures showing what the problem was. They responded that their service department was backed up and they didn't have an answer for me yet. I guess they're still backed up, or maybe karen@eberlestock.com forgot about me. I love the Eberlestock packs and mine has served me well for about 5 years now. I just wish I could get it fixed. I have said from the very beginning that I would be happy to pay for the cost of repairs.

    Non-Typical Archery Buck

    That's a real dream buck right there!!!! Amazing. Congratulations.
  10. I saw that velvet coues in there one day and just sat there and stared. Unbelievable. It's worth the trip down there just to see that one, not to mention all the others.

    What Cell phone provider do you use?

    My work cell is Sprint and the Verizon service we have on our other phone blows it away. I'm not thrilled with their customer service or prices, but their coverage is so much better than any other provider I have tried.

    mexican drug war deaths

    Far from liberal or lefty. Just put up a few numbers, that's all. Pretty childish to resort to name calling over that. I never said things weren't bad in Mexico. Only said that I have been there many times and will continue to go. Why so quick to jump on the offensive?? All I was pointing out is that 9200 murders per year over a population of 113,000,000 is roughly 8 per 100,000 people, not a super high number when compared to a lot of other places. Common sense and avoiding certain areas will go a long ways in helping a person not be one of those 8. But I guess wanting to keep visiting Mexico makes me a "lefty liberal" I can't wait until the day when I get to go hunt coues down there.
  13. I remember when it used to be nice to camp next to the creek at Sycamore right across Beeline from Four Peaks. I haven't been back in there lately but I believe it has been closed because of how bad it has been trashed. What is wrong with people???? TV's, refrigerators, washers and dryers, you name it, all shot up and left behind like it was the city dump.

    mexican drug war deaths

    46,000 over 5 years is 9200 per year in a country with a population of about 113,000,000. USA from 2006 to 2010 had over 80,000 murders with a population of about 312,000,000. Not a whole lot of difference there. In 2010 New Orleans had an average of 49 murders per 100,000 people. That would work out to over 55,000 murders in one year if their population was the same as Mexico's. I'm not trying to convince anyone that Mexico is perfectly safe or free of trouble, just pointing out that as long as you're not involved in the drug trade then there isn't a huge difference than a lot of places here. I have traveled in Mexico in my own vehicle many times and I still enjoy going down there. I use common sense and avoid certain areas, not any different than I would in downtown Phoenix.

    Hunters find 100k in Pot!

    These guy aren't too bright. The first part of the article is their first and last names. I'd be changing my name.

    Best December Unit

    IMO, there is no such thing as a "best" December unit. I know many others on here have hunted many more units than I have, but I would be thrilled with a December tag in any unit. Down south I have only hunted in the 36's and all 3 of them have good deer numbers and trophy potential. Around the valley I have hunted mostly 22, 23, 24A, 24B and big deer come out of those units every year. There are plenty more good units, too. Look at your best chance of drawing a tag and consider yourself lucky when you get it.

    December tag holders

    Well, my opening weekend just got pushed back to the 16th. I have some work that absolutely has to get done by that time. I should be wide open after that. Casey, you are dang lucky to be one of so few to draw a 36b late tag. That's my favorite unit but I always put 36c first because odds are so much higher. As it is I am tag 119 out of 125. Good luck to you.

    December tag holders

    36c this weekend. Super pumped. Good luck to all the other December hunters, including archery.

    Tour de Tucson

    So I am going to participate in my first ever road bike race this Saturday in the 42 mile race of the Tour de Tucson. Any other forum members going to participate? I have a friend who is really good and I have done a few mountain bike rides and road bike rides with him. I thought it would be fun to try something new and would also be a good way to help get in shape for the upcoming hunts. With over 10,000 participants, many coming from out of state, I know this is a big deal for Tucson every year.

    Tour de Tucson

    Yes, there was a team fatbastard. They had a slogan with something to the effect of "An eating team with a cycling disorder" I thought it was pretty funny. They had some nice jerseys made up. Good luck on the 40 miler with a mountain bike. I saw quite a few mountain bikes out there.

    Tour de Tucson

    The ride turned out great. Silverbell was BRUTAL. Uphill, headwind, and in some serious need of resurfacing made for a very tough stretch. The ride was a lot of fun and everything seemed to go pretty smooth. And Lance, it sure does create a huge traffic nightmare but at least it does provide a very good economic boost for the city. It was a lot of fun and definitely an event I plan to attend every year. BTW, I noticed someone or maybe even a few people wearing Fatbastard jerseys. Is that a coincidence or was it you? That's really great that you were able to involve your whole family.
