[black]The As to Your Qs:
[/black]
[black]1. What is the Utah state fish? The polygafish, recognized by two defining characteristics: a) its tendency to swim in overcrowded schools and b) its fondness for multiple "spawning partners," if you catch my drift.
2. What is your favorite fish...and why? Any fish who is gullible enough to be fooled by my humble offering and grant me the pleasure of a fiesty tussle on the end of my line. I especially like those fish who have succumbed to America's latest health trend and are morbidly obese and far "heavier" than they, in good conscience, should be. [/black][black]
3. What is your LEAST favorite fish...and why? The Lake Powell stripper. The last one I landed nearly caused me a bitter divorce, after the subsequent pictures of my "catch" were seen by my jealous wife.
4. What is your favorite fishing hole...and why? The UDWR Springville Fish Hatchery, though I'm not sure if it can be termed "a hole." It's more of my favorite fishing "very long and narrow rectangle." Once an angler gets past the high fences and razor wire, it's always a treat--with its abundant and willing fish and its comparitive solitude. In fact, I've never seen another person there besides yours truly, that is until the spotlights turn on, and the squad cars show up, and the officers start shouting with their guns drawn. Then it gets kinda crowded.
5. What is your favorite KIND of fishing...and why? The kind of fishing when I'm actually out either floating in or standing next to some lovely body of water, with an actual fishing rod in my hand. I've grown rather tired of the kind of fishing I've done a lot of lately, which is sitting at my desk and DREAMING of being on or near some lovely body of water with an IMAGINARY fishing rod in my hand. It's during these times that my boss is often found screaming in my ear at the top of his lungs, "Get back to work!" That second type of fishing actually makes me kind of
.
6. What changes would you make in the Utah regulations, if you could, and why? I would make the UDWR build and maintain a trophy fishery in my backyard, with cascading waterfalls, lush vegetation, flowing inlets and outlets, and demand that they stock and replentish it frequently with tropy fish of all species. I actually proposed this at the last Central RAC meeting, but I was forcefully manhandled from the congregation after reading only 10 minutes of my hour-long presentation. They must've been running short on time.[/black]
