The previously-scheduled meeting to discuss the ruling from the 4th District Court on the Utah Stream Access Coalition’s Public Waters Case is postponed until further notice.   

This meeting was to have been held at the City Library on Thursday, May 17th.  The ruling had been expected by Tuesday, May 8th (60-days from the date that Oral Arguments were presented), but, as of today (Tuesday, May 15th) it has yet to be issued by the Court.

We will let you know when the ruling is issued and we will post a copy of it under the Lawsuits/Public Waters Case tab on our website www.utahstreamaccess.org once it is available.  We will reschedule the general membership meeting to discuss the ruling and its implications once our attorneys have had the opportunity to study it.

We apologize for the late notice.  We expected the ruling would have been issued by now.
Thank you for your patience, and your support.

The Board of Directors
Utah Stream Access Coalition

For most of us, it wasn’t on expansive waterways or endless oceans where our passion for fly fishing evolved. More likely, we started on a small stream, creek or pond stalking vibrant brookies or bluegills. In honor of this water and the little fish that call it home, we introduce our Finesse Series Half Weight.

The Finesse Series Half Weight is engineered with the same materials and taper that facilitates such accurate and delicate presentations that the TFO Finesse family is known for. At a featherweight 1.2 ounces and 22 inch pack length, this is a little 5 foot rod that is guaranteed to make you smile – to conjure up memories of small fish past … and future. The Half Weight features a cigar-style grip comprised of flor grade cork and is handsomely finished with a burled cork butt. Two adjustable sliding rings enable varying reel placements for finding the perfect balance. Of course it is light on your wallet too at $159.95 and is covered by TFO’s industry leading warranty.

If you are wondering how to find a line, the Half Weight loads and unloads wonderfully within distances of as little as five feet with one or even two weight lines. It works with as little as 15 grains of line and will deliver a full 30′ of 2 weight line too! This makes delicate presentations in tight spaces or heavy cover a pleasure. Paired up with our newest BVK “0″ click pawl reel at $149.95, you’ll have a perfectly balanced outfit. Both are available now and you can find your local TFO dealer at www.templeforkflyrods.com.

Mark Shelton

Mark Shelton will represent both Hardy and Greys in KS, NE, MO, OK, AR, TX and LA.

Mark says “I jokingly call my territory the “Louisiana Purchase”, covering from Nebraska to Texas and Louisiana. I love the diversity of the region, barbeque to gumbo, to trout to tarpon. It has it all, including some great retail fly shops and wonderful personalities behind the counters. Having worked for some of the finest rod and reel manufacturers along with running my own retail stores gives me a unique perspective to help consult with my dealers. I’m very excited to continue forward with one of the great names and companies in fly fishing.”

Jake Chutz

From Montana Fly:

Columbia Falls, MT—May 14, 2012 – Montana Fly Company announces Jake Chutz as the National Sales Manager in the United States.  Chutz is in charge of strengthening the national sales team, working directly with independent sales reps across the country as well as in-house accounts.  

Building on his experience as a fishing guide and gear expert, Chutz’s position reaches beyond traditional sales duties.  He will help strengthen the product design process, including beta testing strategy to ensure innovative, competitive and high quality products are brought to market.

A long-time guide at TroutHunter on the Henry’s Fork, he spent the last 11 years guiding in Montana, Idaho and Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina.

“After tossing spinners and spoons as a kid, I finally found my true passion in fishing with a fly rod,” says Jake Chutz, MFC National Sales Manager. “TroutHunter on the Henry’s Fork gave me my start as a guide. Taking people fishing from all over the world, I regularly used Montana Fly Company flies and I recognized the brand for its quality and for representing the true spirit of fishing.  So, joining the MFC team is a stellar opportunity and a natural fit.”

“We have high expectations for the company as a whole, now that Jake is at the sales helm,” says MFC president and owner Adam Trina.
