The Crooked River flows are coming down (maybe just temporarily!?!); East Lake and Hosmer are open now too. The big salmonflies should be coming out on the lower Deschutes River about now and that makes it one of the premier rivers of choice at this time. If the rivers get really crowded, don't forget the lakes. We have an abundance of opportunities to fish stillwater in our area. If you went to Denny Rickards' program at last month's meeting, you heard him say that you can't learn to fish from a book - you need to put the hours in on the water. That's good advice - go fishing more! I love this time of the year! June also brings us to the BC trip. There are so many different lakes to explore within 50 miles of our camp that you could fish a different lake each day of our 8 days of fishing - for many years! If you are planning to go on the trip, and haven't talked with Gordon Chandler yet, you must do so as quickly as possible! You also need to get your money in to the treasurer before the trip.

  • The Adjudication That Ate Arizona Water Law
    THE ADJUDICATION THAT ATE ARIZONA WATER LAW Joseph M. Feller* [O]ne does not “get out” of the Gila adjudication. It is a sort of judicial black hole into which light, sound, lawyers, water—even Judge Goodfarb—indeed, whole forests of paper, will disappear. The only way out is out the other end.1 INTRODUCTION On April 26, 2004, the thirtieth anniversary of the initiation of the Gila River water adjudication (“the Adjudication”),2 the Salt River Project (“SRP”) filed five motions with the clerk of the Maricopa County Superior Court. Each styled “APPLICATION FOR ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND REQUEST FOR INJUNCTION,” the motions requested that the court order five different respondents to cease and desist from water uses that were allegedly depleting water flows in Arizona’s Verde River.3 According to the motions and an accompanying Memorandum of Points and Authorities, these depletions of the Verde River were depriving SRP and its members of water to which they are entitled as senior appropriators on the Salt River, to which the Verde is tributary. SRP’s attempts to restrain water uses in the Verde Valley actually go back much farther than the initiation of the Adjudication in 1974. Over a century * Professor of Law, Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, Arizona State University. This Article appears in Volume 49 Number 2 of the Arizona Law Review, which collects papers originally presented at the Water Law and Policy Conference hosted by the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law in Tucson, Arizona, on October 6–7, 2006.

Stripers on the Fly Eisenhower State Park, Lake Texoma Denison, TX – August 20 – 22, 2010 TWFF is gearing up to go another round with the stripers behind the dam at Eisenhower State Park. Our last visit there was December 2008 and the stripers were nowhere to be found. ARGHHHH!!!! After a busy 2009 summer of some of the local TWFFers catching record numbers of stripers, we are bringing the club back for another round of striper fishing; some scores just beg to be settled and this is one of them! Our outing headquarters will be at Eisenhower State Park and we will be renting the Recreation Cen- ter for our headquarters. Admittance to the park is free so be sure and tell them you are a member of Texas Women Fly Fishers when you enter the park. Anyone arriving early on Friday afternoon can join us at the Rec Center for some casting lessons. We should be there by noon on Friday. We’ve had some exciting developments about our Texoma outing since our June newsletter. We had mentioned that a notorious group of women fishers had been invited to join us at the outing and they have accepted our invitation. Joining us at Texoma will be the Dallas Bass’n Gals, a North Texas group of tournament fishing lady anglers. This group of lady anglers has been together since 1984 and they fish 9 tournaments a year. You can find more information about the group at their website: http://www.fishingworld.com/DallasBassNGals/.

  • In Northeastern Arizona Has B
    Introduction and Background For the past 70 years, the middle Little Colorado River valley (MLCRV) in northeastern Arizona has been viewed as a major boundary to archaeological cultural traditions (Colton 1939; Gumerman 1969; Reid and Doyel 1986:map on inside cover ; Solometo 2004; Wendorf 1953; Wilson 1967, 1969) (Figure 1). Differences in material culture, specifically pottery, show that within the MLCRV there is enormous diversity of material culture, associated with strong boundaries. I have worked in this region for 35 years and have contributed to a growing knowledge base (Adams 2002; Lange 1998). There is no lack of studies providing examples of the diversity, although much of this research remains unpublished (Colton 1939; Douglass 1990; Gumerman 1988; Gumerman and Skinner 1968; Herr 2001; Lange 1998; Plog and Hill 1976; Solometo 2004; Wilson 1969). NSF is being asked to fund a research project whose goals are to conduct an archaeological survey of 16,000 acres in an area where no previous archaeological work has been done, with the exception of the documentation of a major rock art site in Chevelon Canyon (Malotki 2007; Weaver 1993). Research will be conducted on two adjacent ranches: Rock Art Ranch (RAR) and property to the south of RAR owned by Aztec Land and Cattle Company (Aztec). The objectives of the research are to document the archaeological record of the area and to place it within the context of the broader archaeological record of the region. The last synthesis of the MLCRV by Gumerman and Skinner (1968) covered the area where Little Colorado White Ware was predominant, or north of the Little Colorado River, and a new synthesis is long overdue.
