Twenty years ago, June suckers were well on their way to oblivion due to Utahns’ use of Utah Lake as a place to dump pollution and stock with sport fish and other nonnatives. Today, the suckers are coming back in the wake of costly efforts to clean up the lake’s degraded habitat, rid its water of invasive carp, raise suckers at secure refuges and hatcheries, and restore a major delta that is hoped to once again serve as a safe nursery for young fish.

Utah Free Fishing Day Tomorrow

(St. George, UT) — It’s that time of year again to get outdoors and test your angler skills. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is holding its Free Fishing Day in the Beehive State tomorrow, which means everybody can get out and cast a line in public waters without a fishing license. The department’s sportfish coordinator called this time of year “one of the best times to fish in Utah.” Those wishing to participate are being reminded fees for state park entry will still apply even though a license isn’t needed.
