This last weekend offered a multitude of spring activities in Hagerman.  I helped with planting trees in Billingsley Creek State Park. with a large group of volunteers mostly from outside of the Hagerman area.  After finishing it we visited the great flea market that is held every Saturday at Billingsley Creek State Park.  They have great vendors and I was told that they have as many as 250 visit the market each Saturday.  If you enjoy flea markets this a one that you don’t want to miss.  I even had a brief message while there that was just what I needed after all that shoveling.

While driving around the valley we witnessed people taking part in many of the great activities available in the area.  There were sturgeon fisherman, a group of bird watchers, walkers and fly fisherman.  Sunday turned out a little overcast, but we took advantage of the last weekend that the Malad River will be open for fishing until the opening of general season in May.  It was a fun day fly fishing on the river with mixed results.  Dry flies were hatching and fish were feeding like mad.  We weren’t alone as there were several other fly-fisherman who were there also.  Twice a group of three  kayaking paddled by us enjoying the rough water of the Malad River created by all of the rocks.  It really was a beautiful weekend in Hagerman.
