[cool][#0000ff]First of all...you are SMACK SPANG ON with your observation that a major part of what we do will benefit our heirs more than it will us. We need to take the stepsnow but future generations will derive more benefit that we do. If we don't do anything now, they will have a lousy inheritance.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Don't know what you have heard, but yes, there is serious negotiation going on to not only improve angler access, but to acquire a large chunk of land along the Weber for a public preserve. Some of what is going on is still "under wraps" and cannot be openly discussed until something more definitive is nailed down. The good news is that DWR and several other groups are all working to identify projects and then get them approved and funded.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]By the way, you also make a great point about the habitat improvements being good not only for trout fishermen. Ultimately all of our ponds and rivers are impacted by the upper watersheds and the stream flows. Whenever the state can secure water rights to keep water for the fishies, we will all benefit...regardless of our favorite species.[/#0000ff]
