Whirling disease is present in a number of streams and lakes in Northern Utah, including the Provo River, Logan River, Blacksmith Fork, Causey Reservoir, Hyrum Reservoir, Porcupine Reservoir, Rockport Reservoir, the South Fork of the Ogden River and the Weber River. Anglers are asked to help prevent the spread of the disease by carefully cleaning mud from waders and other equipment before fishing elsewhere, and to not transport any parts of fish caught on an infected water elsewhere.
Boat ramps are open.
Cutthroat are hitting trolled lures in 5-30 feet of water near the shoreline. Casting with spoons, lures has been fair to good. Remember that only cutthroat with fin clips may be kept. All other cutthroat must be released. Pamphlets with information about the fin-clipping program are available at the Utah State Park marina and the DWR Bear Lake office.
