A Duchesne County reservoir has made a list of Utah waterbodies with emergency changes to daily fishing limits. The announcement states that “due to current low water levels from construction projects and ongoing drought impacts, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources issued emergency changes to increase the daily fishing limits at seven waterbodies in Utah, effective immediately. DWR Director Riley Peck issued the emergency changes to the Utah Fishing Guidebook on July 2, allowing for increased angler harvest at seven waterbodies in Utah.” The Duchesne County waterbody that made the list is Red Creek Reservoir which is currently being drained in preparation for a dam construction project happening later this year. As a result, the daily fish limits will be increased to eight trout of any species. This is in effect until December 31st.
