Lamb Day parade 2009

Well a great end to the 2009 Lamb Day celebration. A great week of softball, parade, carnival, lamb contests and auctions, fried mutton and lamb sandwiches. We all owe a great big thanks to all the volunteers that made it happen again. Looking forward to next year.

Duck Fork Reservoir

A beautiful week and a real need to relax. My son-in-law Randy and I took the dirt bike and ATV for a ride up Manti Canyon to Duck Fork Reservoir. A nice little lake high in the Manti La Sal Mountains that allows fishing with artificial lures and flies only. A day fishing is still always better than a day at work. I managed to get one nice Cutthroat trout and lots of exercise casting lures and flies. So who wants to go try a different remote mountain lake and wet some flies or lures?

Fish Hatchery visit

When is the last time ya'll visited the State Fish Hatchery in Fountain Green? My grandfather, Leland Despain retired from the Fish and Game, working at the old fish hatchery. I remember so much fun going with him to feed the fish and transport them to various ponds and lakes around Sanpete. The most enjoyable deliveries were to Hamburger Pond on top of Maple Canyon. Too bad but this high mountain pond is now gone. While I was there John and Camille Field with some of their grand kids were also there. What a great learning experience to see how wildlife and fish are managed for our enjoyment. Well done to all the hard workers at the Fountain Green Fish Hatchery!
