I had one do that last year at Wallowa, went straight down first, then straight up, they way out in front of the boat, then turned around and came right back towards the boat, and thats when I lost him, could not keep up and he got slack.
I am assuming it was a koke, never saw it, could have been a lake trout also.

A recent study has proved that women that carry a little extra weight have a much longer life expectancy than the men that point it out....
Propnuts- "So let me ask you this. Will going to a RAC meeting and voicing your displeasure over the Villa derby coming to a end,force the organizers of the derby to hold it again next year?"
Interesting, I figured I would be challenged on the RAC idea.
No, it won't they can't be made to do anything. But making UT regs more user friendly and less prohibitive to derby type events would not hurt a thing. Also taking a sec to go to a RAC would likely be beneficial to all of us. We live in one of the few states that considers public opinion while making or modifying laws.
Just my thoughts
you Might want to start at the forest service seeing as they give the permit's out for derbys not the dwr rac! has nothing to do with the dwr! what do you all think that angler inpact does to this fishery when 900 guys are catching and releaseing 1000's of kokes in a weekend? look at the big picture! dont these fish have enough strikes against them with out derby's! fyi the villia has even been closed down!
nofish's fish from the derby
[QUOTE=FISH;29064]has nothing to do with the dwr!
Not entirely true. The Utah DWR does impact fishing contests! The rules "in part" are listed below.
Fishing contests
Utah Admin. Rule R657-58
You can hold a fishing contest in Utah, but you
must follow the rules, some of which changed this
year. For the current fishing contest rules, please
see Utah Admin. Rule R657-58 at wildlife.utah.

The comment made at the Derby drawing appearde to be placing blame on the Daggit County Sheriff "All the red & blue lights up the road"
I agree with Smoke .. just a little advise for those in are great state of Utah that are doing some of these derbys as event planner in the the past you need to be very carefull .
