Published on January 17, 2008
A trout-fishing tournament in the drought-stricken desert might seem as sensible as a high-stakes poker tourney in Mormon country. But as odd as it may seem, it’s time to dust off your rod and reel, get those hands grubby with some filthy live worms, and fill the cooler with Keystone Light because competitive angling is alive and well in the West Valley.
