"The fish that get into Little Dell Reservoir, they get pretty big," Richardson said. Richardson suspects whatever killed the fish probably didn't go above the dam, but he's not sure how far the contaminant spread, or where it started. But, something happened that killed the fish. And as recent history goes, it's nothing new to the Bonneville Cutthroat. Funny thing is, the aquatic insect life doesn't seem to be affected by whatever killed the fish. Maybe the Cutthroats have given up. Maybe after years of struggle, they finally said, "Lets quit." As things seem to be going, regardless of the help from Trout Unlimited and the DWR, the fate of the trout is in jeopardy. They can't compete with other trout species and they can't compete with human influence. > : Park City Performing Arts Foundation j;"r presents I STARS, BRIGHT NIGHTS New classes start 435.645.UofU (8638) i Campsite reservations can be obtained by visiting www.recrealion.gov, but campsites can only be reserved seven days in advance.
