Hi Kent. It was good to see you again. Therapist was the gentleman sitting to my left. Here are some of the highlights from the meeting of items that were new. (at least to me)
1. Several of the members discussed the paucity of angler access at Utah lake. The DWR pledged to research the feasibility of adding additional angler access points around the lake. The head of the forum will check with the BLM/Forest service to see if new public access land is already present that can be quickly brought into use now.
2. Many members of the commission did not know about the proposed project at Lincoln beach. (It was brought up in relation to the access discussion.) It is possible that environmental issues could be looked at regarding its development.
3. As Kent mentioned, there was yet another delay in starting to net the carp. (This has continually plagued the program) However, the Loys will be starting in the next few days to start the wholesale netting. He said that he will be able to even net through the ice.
4. PR and the recently released articles were discussed at length. That silly piece in the Deseret news received a fair bit of discussion. There were 2 people from an advertising firm that seemed surprised a bit that this article was less than well received by the fishing public.
5. Subjects of future meetings will be access issues and a detailed explanation of the netting process.
It sounds like gaining additional angler access could be a real and quickly realized benefit to the anglers from the program.
