An interesting read Pat !! I have always been a warm water fishermen, from the first day I arrived in Utah. I did my share of trout fishing, but in the first 2-3 years after moving here, I was strictly a warm water guy. That is how I met Pat, 40 + years ago fishing for walleye on Utah Lake. Our group of about 6, sometimes 8, were all pretty much warm water fishermen. Perch, Walleye, LMB, Pat's favorite, channel cat, were all pursued with fervor. I have seen the ups and downs of Utah warm water fisheries and would have to say that they are on the rise. I would be wonderful if we could snap our finger and undo the decades of neglect and abuse that have been done to the State's warm water fisheries, but biological systems do not heal quickly and sometimes they don't heal at all !!! Again Pat, nice read, good info !!!
