Hey kayote
i did alot of research on the fungus though i dont remember the technical name for it i do remember the results of the fungus. unfortunately it is also caused by stress in other areas. i have been a big oppostion of keeping the provo river running so high and fast all year long. though it is more condusive to fly fishing the fish after they spawn need slow pools and hold over areas to rest and regain strength.
ly they dont have much opportunity for that in most of the river. pre jordanelle days the provo didnt flow as it does and would run as a natural river with high water spring level out in summer and slow water in winter how it should be. also pre jordanelle days the fungus didnt exist as wide spread as it does today. in fact i dont remember seeing one fish like that before the dam was bulit and water flows controlled.
