Utah

Strawberry Reservoir anglers—get ready. Fishing at one of the nation's best trout-fishing waters is about to get even better.

More than 410,000 rainbow trout are headed to your favorite fishing water in north-central Utah!

The sound that male sage-grouse make, as they "strut" on their breeding grounds, is one of the most unique things you'll ever hear in nature. And the sight of the grouse strutting is pretty unique too!

Bainbridge Island, Washington - The top names in Fly Fishing have joined forces together to put togther a world-class fly fishing outfit as a fundraiser for Trout Unlimited-Alaska to help with their efforts protecting the Bristol Bay watershed.

TIME RUNNING OUT TO HELP UTAH'S WILDLIFE

SALT LAKE CITY — It's time to make plans to head to Starvation or Yuba for some great walleye fishing this year!

On March 18, a panel of top Utah walleye anglers will tell you how they catch walleye at these and other waters in Utah. And the information is free!

GENERAL: Warmer temperatures are deteriorating the ice on lower elevation reservoirs. Anglers are reporting that the ice is unsafe at Echo and Rockport Reservoirs. With the amount of water being held in reservoirs, many have a ring of water around the edge that makes accessing ice dangerous.

GENERAL: It's that time of year when ice fishing safety precautions must be observed. Fish with one or more of your friends. Each angler should carry his own set of ice picks. The party should bring along a rescue rope tied to a floatation device. Walk in the tracks of other anglers. Drill one or more test holes, before venturing out too far. Last weekend, an ice angler nearly drowned when he fell through the ice at Millsite State Park. Luckily, he was seen and rescued by Kelly Farnsworth of Orangeville.

Larger lakes & reservoirs

DEER CREEK RESERVOIR: (March 5) Warning: Questionable ice conditions (especially around the edges). Use ice at your own risk. Please remember that the trout limit is four statewide unless otherwise noted in the proclamation. Yellow perch limit is 10 but you must keep all perch you catch from January 1 through April 30. Remember that the bass limit is six, but immediately release all bass over 12 inches long. Walleye limit is 10 but only one over 24 inches may be kept.

SANDY — Kids can catch fish, shoot arrows and drive remote-control ATVs at this year's DNR Youth Outdoor Sports Fair.

The sports fair is part of this year's International Sportsmen's Exposition.

You may have seen them in Utah this winter: deer, moose and herds of elk nipping at salt-covered grass near the side of a road.

Most of the animals you saw were probably alive. But a fair number were probably dead, killed by vehicles flying down the road.
