Hey, Everyone!
 
Three quick items for your attention:
 
FIRST, don't forget the Spawn Creek fencing project on Saturday, May 16. Work would include hiking, packing materials, hammering, and standing fence (5-6 hours).  Volunteers would need to wear boots, long sleeve shirts and pants, bring gloves, water, and a lunch.  They could also bring a hammer and fencing pliers (we will provide fencing equipment for those that don't bring their own).  We will meet at the Temple Fork turn-off in Logan Canyon (probably at 9 am).  I'll be the FS contact and can be reached at either the Ogden Ranger District (801-625-5114) or the Logan Ranger District (435-755-3629) if people have questions. Also, if people are looking for Dedicated Hunter hours, this project can be used. 

SECOND, our next Cache Anglers meeting is coming up on Wednesday, May 20.  Zack Dalton, a representative from Rio Fly Line Company will discuss the latest technologies in fly lines, leaders, tippets, etc.  Come and enjoy a fun time and bring your questions, such as "What weight line should I put on my 8 wt? What's the best dry fly line? How often do I need to replace my line?" We'll meet at the Bullen Center at 43 S. Main in Logan at 7 PM
THIRD, we still do not have the new date for the Salmon Fly Transplant project. We hope to have details ready by the time we have our next Cache Anglers meeting.
 
Even though waters are rising, there's been some great fishing around the valley. Get out there and enjoy the spring fishing and be ready to brag at our next meeting.

From Our March Cache Anglers Meeting....
 
Where in the Logan River system is the highest density of trout?  Phaedra Budy showed us that elevation makes a difference with specific species:
 
 
Brown Trout have their highest densities in Right Hand Fork:
 
 
And Cutthroat densities were highest in Franklin Basin:
 
 
Where are the largest trout found?  Phaedra's research suprised most of us:
 
 
 
Our thanks to Dr. Phaedra Budy of USU for her presentation at our March Cache Anglers meeting! Phaedra also presented a plan for Bonneville cutthroat trout enhancement.  This plan involves reducing numbers of brown trout in the Right Hand Fork of the Logan River in the long term, and between second and third dams in the short term.  Potentially controversial, the nearly 30 Cache Anglers at the meeting voted unanimously to support the enhancement program, and to lend our help where needed.  We will likely be involved down the road on the Right Hand Fork in particular.
 
During the meeting we also discussed the "victory" over House Bill 187 being defeated. We will want to watch next year's legislative effort carefully and participate in any work during the next 9 months to shape a bill that balances the rights of landowners and the rights of water recreational users.
 
We have two busy months coming up and need your help and involvement with a number of projects and activities.
April 8:   Sara Seidel will be defending her master's thesis: "Evaluating the spawning ecology and early life history of Bonneville cutthroat trout in the Logan River, Utah." Her defense will begin at 1:30 in room 307 of the Eccles Conference Center at USU. You may recall that Sara presented some of this information at our Cache Anglers meeting in January. She has invited members of the Cache Anglers to attend.
 
April 15 Cache Anglers Meeting:   Warren Colyer, a TU biologist working in this area, will discuss the Cub River in northern Cache Valley.  Warren has been instrumental in developing a major fish ladder and fish screen on the Cub River to allow large Bonneville cutthroat to access the stream for spawning, and to keep young fish from ending up in an irrigation canal.
 
April 25: Salmon Fly Transplant Project on the Blacksmith Fork River. Cache Anglers will partner with the Bug Lab and UDWR to organize another fascinating day of kicking rocks and gathering bugs. More details will emerge at our April Cache Anglers meeting.
 
May 9:  Left Hand Fork restoration project. Paul Chase will have more details for us at our April Cache Anglers meeting.
 
May 16:  Spawn Creek Fencing repair. Paul Chase is coordinating this project. Work would include hiking, packing materials, hammering, and standing fence (5-6 hours).  Volunteers would need to wear boots, long sleeve shirts and pants, bring gloves, water, and a lunch.  They could also bring a hammer and fencing pliers (we will provide fencing equipment for those that don't bring their own). We will meet at the Temple Fork turn-off in Logan Canyon (probably at 9 am).  Paul will be the FS contact and can be reached at either the will also have details on this project at our April Cache Anglers meeting.
Join us at our new location, the Bullen Center at 43 S. Main in Logan on April 15 at 7 PM (enter in the back and take the elevator to the 2nd floor) for another interesting meeting.

Cache Anglers Updates:
  • Chris Thomas will be electro-fishing on the Oneida Narrows during the next few weeks. If anyone wants to come along and help, it's a great learning experience and you'll get to see the numbers and varieties of fish in the Narrows. Call him to arrange a time to go up for a day on the Narrows: 881-8628. 
  • Paul Chase is organizing a Spawn Creek project on May 16. We need to repair and maintain the riparian exclosure fence along Spawn Creek. You can expect a day of that includes hiking, packing materials, hammering, and standing fence (5-6 hours).  Volunteers would need to wear boots, long sleeve shirts and pants, bring gloves, water, and a lunch. They could also bring a hammer and fencing pliers (we will provide fencing equipment for those that don't bring their own). Meet at the Temple Fork turn-off in Logan Canyon (probably at 9 am).  Paul will be the FS contact and can be reached at either the Ogden Ranger District 801-625-5114 or the Logan Ranger District 435-755-3629 if people have questions.  Also, if people are looking for Dedicated Hunter hours, this project can be used.
  • April 15          Cache Anglers Meeting                        
  • April 25          Salmon Fly Transplant Project           
  • May 9             Left Hand Fork Restoration Project
There are many ways Cache Anglers can get involved in various service projects. The projects will give us a better understanding of the importance of critical fish habitat, improve local fisheries, and increase our partnership with various groups and organizations.
 
We'll review the various projects in more detail at our April 15 meeting at the Bullen Center.
