The Ogden Canyon Club needs your support. To us, membership and active participation strengthens our organization and helps increase our influence. Please help us by joining today or renewing your membership. In its stewardship, The Ogden Canyon Club takes into consideration how the River is impacted by the environment both manmade and natural of the Canyon, Valley and Great Basin which impact both positively and negatively the health of the Ogden River, a waterway which has provided years and years of entertainment and food supply to the many fishermen who have thrown a hook into the current and won a prize. The fish in our river are unique in that the Brown Trout are wild-spawned naturally, from egg to mature adult.
Membership is open to everyone.
Throughout this summer and fall, Club members have become alarmed at indications that the Ogden River may no longer be in good health. In the view of many longtime canyon residents, fish have been dying at an alarming rate. Because the river is low, the estimated 6,000 fish per mile in the eight-mile stretch of river creates overcrowding and territorial disputes. The fish become aggressive and inflict open wounds on each other which then become infected with the disease. The fungus weakens the fish, and then a secondary bacterial infection occurs which causes them to die.
