Utah increases fishing limits at 3 reservoirs amid drought, planned repairs
Utah wildlife officials are allowing anglers to collect more fish every day at three reservoirs across the state because of low water levels tied to a mix of drought and upcoming projects. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources upped the daily limits at Nine Mile Reservoir in Sanpete County and Vernon Reservoir in Tooele County late last week amid low reservoir levels. … The agency typically orders emergency daily increases at bodies of water when levels drop to a point that leaves fish species prone to illness.
