100s of trout die after flows cut off to creek
Posted 10/29/12
SALT LAKE CITY — Anglers are expressing frustration over the deaths of hundreds of fish after flows to a creek below a Carbon County reservoir were cut off to allow spillway repairs.
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation officials said water had to be shut off to Lower Fish Creek from Oct. 14-17 to complete required work on the Scofield Reservoir spillway.
Justin Hart, regional fisheries manager for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, said an estimated 1,000 trout may have died and there were reports that some of the fish weighed up to 5 pounds.
