Anglers, your skills are needed. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources issued an emergency change on Tuesday to increase the daily fishing limit at Crouse Reservoir, effective immediately. DWR Deputy Director Michael Canning issued the emergency change on May 27th, allowing anglers to keep up to eight trout of any species. Crouse Reservoir is currently experiencing low water levels, and due to senior water rights in the Pot Creek drainage, additional water from the reservoir must be released. “This emergency change will allow the public to harvest more fish from the reservoir so they can be used and not wasted as water levels continue to decline this summer,” explains Canning. “Increased harvest will hopefully improve the survival of any remaining fish, as well.” The main fish species in Crouse Reservoir are rainbow, tiger and brown trout. The previous daily fish limit was four trout. Due to thick vegetation along the shoreline, anglers are encouraged to use a boat or small watercraft while fishing at Crouse Reservoir for better chances of success. The change will expire on December 31st, 2025. All other rules established in the 2025 Utah Fishing Guidebook remain in effect.
