Utah Stream Access

Yesterday the Utah Supreme Court heard oral argument in two cases involving stream access in the state of Utah. The courtroom was packed and people were standing in the back The attorneys for the Utah Stream Access Coalition (USAC) did a wonderful job laying out the position and defending the rights of sportsmen and the general public. The court likely will not issue an opinion for several more months. However, I wanted to say thank you to the USAC and the lawyers and volunteers who worked hard to defend the rights of the sportsmen and the general public.

If you were not able to attend but want to listen to the arguments, I have included the links below: https://www.utcourts.gov/opinions/streams/sup/

Here is the KSL article as well. [https://www.ksl.com/?sid=42822159&nid=148&title=utah-supreme-court-wades-into-stream-access-cases]

I heard the USAC booth will be right next to the SFW booth at the expo. Kidding...calm down.

"I heard the USAC booth will be right next to the SFW booth at the expo. Kidding...calm down."

USAC actually had booths at the expo for two years in 2011 and 2012, I believe? At that time, this was not very far from the truth. I even asked Don Peay personally at the expo if he'd sign up to be a member of USAC. He declined. I wonder why?

USAC is a terrific model of how concerned sportsmen can intelligently fight for public lands and is something that should be emulated.

I wish them (and all Utah's residents) all the luck in the forthcoming ruling.
