OGDEN -- The Fly Fishing Film Tour, also known as F3T, will come to Ogden for the third consecutive year.

The year’s film will feature fly-fishing in areas close to cities and even within the urban areas themselves.

“We approached this year with the attitude that adventure is what you make it and sometimes the greatest adventures can be found in your own backyard or an urban corridor,” said F3T co-owner Chris Keig.

Carp are a common sight in many Utah lakes and waterways, and in most cases, aren’t considered a major threat to the other fish species in those waters.

That’s not the case in Utah Lake west of Provo, where an exploding population of the large fish has taken over and been threatening an endangered species for decades.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- About four hours after the fishing charter boat Citation left dock on the Outer Banks to compete in one of the country's richest deep-sea fishing tournaments, crewmembers were in the fight of their lives. Something huge was hooked, but it was invisible to human sight as it dove for the ocean bottom about 27 miles off the North Carolina coast.

Utah and Wyoming wildlife agencies have come up with a fun way to get rid of unwanted fish in the Flaming Gorge Reservoir. On Feb. 1-3, 2013, they'll host the third annual "Burbot Bash" fishing competition that gives anglers a chance to win up to $10,000 by catching burbots out of the reservoir. The fish was illegally introduced into the reservoir in 2006 and have exploded in population since. They harm other sport fish native to the reservoir such as small mouth bass by eating them or eating their main source of food: crayfish. (AP Photo/Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Ryan Mosley)
