GARRISON Reservoir was chemically treated in 1968 to remove high rough fish populations. It was consequently restocked with channel cats, Sacramento! perch and largemouth bass. The catfish made tne strongest comeback in the reservoir, but surveys indicated they were not reproducing well. The latest stocking effort was made to promote further , establishment of the catfish population. In addition, the catfish will help to control rough fish populations found in the reservoir. , THE CHANNEL cats were1 planted in the lower Weber in an effort to develop a fishery there. Water quality and food production in that portion of1 the nver (west of the Slater-vill-e diversion dam) are poor. Both trout and small mouth bass were considered for the area, but water temperature, was marginal for trout and food sources were not good enough to assure a healthy smallmouth population. Channel cats were chosen as the best suited possibility for i o establishing a fishery there. THE PORTION Wildlife Resources Fisheries Section. of the Weber River from the mouth of Weber Canyon to the diversion dam is being le developed as a brown trout fishery by the Division of Brown trout have been planted two to three years prior to 1978. Fisheries personnel are interested in fishing reports from that part of the Weber. |
