DWR announces 2nd round of increased drought fishing limits

Fishing limits for Wellsville Reservoir, Skylar’s Pond and Garden City Pond were increased Thursday, along with 54 other community fishing ponds in Utah. According to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, this increased limit will remain in effect until Aug. 31. These limits were put in effect in anticipation of fish die-off because of the extreme drought conditions and low-water levels in Utah. At the 57 community fishing ponds, fishers can keep up to four fish as long as two of the fish are trout. × Advertisement “Community fisheries are small ponds, and we anticipate that temperatures in these ponds this summer will exceed the maximum temperature tolerated by trout,” DWR’s sportfish coordinator Randy Oplinger said. “The intent of this regulation change is to provide anglers the opportunity to harvest and use additional fish before any potential fish loss.”
