Shocking News! HB-141 Passes Senate
information taken from http://utahwaterguardians.org/
A sad day for Utah’s fisherman, Representative McIff’s unconstitutional House-bill somehow passes the Senate.
In an odd twist of events, the 2nd substitute HB-141 was passed with a 19-10 vote late in the day. The 2nd substitute HB-141 was made public only 3 hours before the vote…. in a nut shell, its still full of problems.
Also, Senator Stowell attached a bill, SB-281 Public Access to Stream Beds – Utah Waterways Task Force, to HB-141. We’ll post a full breakdown shortly.
The Vote–>http://le.utah.gov/~2010/status/hbillsta/hb0141s02.htm Please note how your Representative voted and act according come election time. If they stood up for the Constitution and water law, send in a note thanking them.

Fly Fishing Utah I’ve heard many people that go fly fishing utah’s Provo River that there aren’t many big fish on the Upper Provo. The Middle and Lower always hold decent fish, but Upper Provo was mainly a small fish fishery. Well, I beg to differ. Royce and I went up to Woodland Utah to

Seriously? so the public owns “just the water” the land underneath is private making it illegal to wade… Thats like passing a bill making it so a citizen couldn’t own land within 15 meters of a public waterway. In my eyes either one of these situation is unconstitutional. Citizens have a right to purchase and own land; citizens also have the right to access public waterways by foot or float.
So how much of the provo just got shut down? where can I find maps of public/ private lands so I dont tresspass?
