Idaho, Utah Wildlife Agencies to Conduct Lake Trout Research Project on Bear Lake – ETV News

Published: Updated: April 26, 202110:50 am DWR News Release Bear Lake is a unique, trophy lake trout fishery that is home to 13 different species of fish four of which are found nowhere else in the world making this lake one of the West’s natural treasures. Lake trout, in particular, have a long history in Bear Lake the fish species has been there for over 100 years. While lake trout have been known to conflict with other fish species in lakes throughout the western U.S. due to being a large predator species, these fish are often compatible with other species when managed appropriately. Balancing the number of predators, like lake trout, with their prey base requires frequent monitoring and evaluation. In an effort to better control the lake trout populations, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources began stocking sterile lake trout at Bear Lake in the early 2000s.

These large trout became a favored sport fish for the anglers who flock to Bear Lake, but the species is hard on the lake’s native fish, including four that live nowhere else. Since 2001, Utah fisheries managers have been stocking non-reproducing sterile lake trout in the hopes of keeping their numbers in check while maintaining the popular sport fishery.

DWR seeks information on theft of wildlife guzzler material in southern Utah

ST. GEORGE State wildlife conservation officers typically deal with all sorts of hunting and fishing wildlife investigations, but they are now trying to solve who last month stole equipment used to keep wildlife hydrated in Washington County. The incident happened in March in the area of Utah Hill, according to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. It s located between St. George and the Beaver Dam Wash National Conservation Area in the southwest corner of the state. The unknown thief made off with a metal apron of what the division calls water guzzlers, which collect rain and snow from passing storms so that wildlife have access to water to survive in one of the driest states in the country.
