[size 3]Have you wanted to go fishing but you just keep putting it off. Your football team just lost in the play-offs and there isn’t anything on TV. Well here is your call to do some trout fishing. Whether it is for the weekend or just a day outing we are planning a fishing trip to Southern Utah. Everyone is welcome to come and campout at Baker Dam Reservoir. Snow Canyon is booked up so we will have to do some primitive camping. There is a campground on the hill if you want to stay there but it will cost you $8 I think. Our base camping area will be near the upper lake or below the dam area in the primitive camping area. Here we can go fishing at Baker or travel back to St. George to Quail Creek Reservoir or Stratton Pond. Southernman said he thinks they changed the name of this pond to Hurricane Pond. There are several other places you can go like Enterprise Reservoir, Gunlock Reservoir, Tara Ponds or the pond in St George. We are planning to camp out Saturday-Monday. Monday is the holiday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. [/size]

[size 3]You must provide your own camping equipment, water containers, food, etc… …Unless you contact us before Thursday Jan 15th. If you don’t have a stove or cooking equipment then I can offer what I have for you to use. There are no picnic tables so bring something to sit in and eat. I can bring several banquet tables along. I have a large commercial 2 burner stove with an optional burner stove. I do most of the cooking in Dutch Ovens. I have plenty of Dutch ovens too. If I need more I can get them. [/size]
