Anglers in the Park City and Salt Lake City areas have some good news this fishing season. By installing physical cross-over ladders, High Country Fly Fishing is working hard to make it easier and safer for anglers to fish near their homes. From the article:

Last month, High Country Fly Fishers helped make long-standing access to rivers over private lands a sustainable reality.

The organization — the Park City branch of Trout Unlimited, a nonprofit that works to preserve cold-water fisheries and wildlife habitats in and around them — built and installed a string of galvanized steel crossovers that replaced the weather-beaten wooden ones along the Weber River, said Bill Quapp, High Country Fly Fishers board member and past president.

“We call it the Weber River Access Project, and we’ve completed five units, which is the first third of the project,” he said. “We have about two-thirds left that are funded for completion this year.”

“The wooden ones last two to three years, and require a little maintenance each year,” he said. “But after three years, the wood becomes weather and use damaged so they are no longer safe. So, we either have extensive repair or replacement.”
