Mike- As far as I know the only place in Utah to have Sacramento perch is Preuss, better known as Garrison Reservoir. I fished there several times years ago and caught channel catfish, but no perch. Rod, the guy I was with, caught two fish that we assumed were the Sacramento perch, but not sure. The reservoir gets drawn down for irrigation, so I am not sure if any have survived still after all these years. To get there travel west from Delta on US 6 & 50 ninety miles to the Nevada border. Just before the Border Inn turn south toward the town of Garrison. Go through town and several miles to the south to find the reservoir along the west side of the main highway going toward Milford. I think it is about 11 miles south of US 6 & 50. There wasn't any facilities there last time I was there, just primitive camping. You can camp several places around Baker, NV just back up the road. The best is at the Lehman caves area in the Great Basin National Park. It is worth your time to take a tour of the cave and see the stalagtites and stalagmites. If you go for a road trip let me know how you do. Acey
