Sacramento perch - catchinon - 07-30-2018

Are there any Sacramento perch left in Utah? Did a search and found a thread from 2014 without anything definite. Kentofnsl, did you ever get any? Also TD and LOAH, you guys have any idea?

The one long trip I made out there (many moons ago) was unsuccessful. Last month, I communicated with the biologist for that area and was told that Garrison Reservoir (Pruess Lake) still has them and the best time to fish it is in March and April. I plan on getting after them again next spring.

Yeah, I read your posts from back then but wasn't sure if you ever got a chance to go again. I have lots of others left on my bucket list so not sure how soon I want to do a three-hour drive over there. But they do sound like fun if they have any size to them.
Thanks for the update.

It is even an hour further for me to drive there, but considering I believe it is the only Utah game fish that I haven't caught it will be worth the drive. Big is always better, but I would be thrilled with a small one.

I actually know where that pond (and it definitely is a small pond) is located and fished it the same trip that I made a trip out to Garrison. The water was really muddy the day we went and we had zero luck. I will try earlier in the year next time and will definitely fish it again if I can't catch one in Garrison.

There are 2 really small ponds that have some in them in southern Utah. They have been in there for 30 years that I know of. I have never seen one over 4 inches there.

Here is a video of the water source that feeds the ponds. It comes out of a long abandoned mine. Just so happen that I was there exploring with a couple of my grand kids the other day.
