10M+ Fish Stocked In Utah Last Year

(St. George, UT) — Anglers across the Beehive State have had plenty of fish to catch and that should continue into the New Year. The Division of Wildlife Resources announced recently more than ten-million fish were stocked into more than 600 bodies of water in Utah last year. It’s part of an annual effort to keep fishing going while also boosting populations of native species to specific bodies of water. The amount this year is a significant increase to the stocking numbers of 2021 and 2020.
