I knew you would like it. I too was fascinated by the history of the lake and the condition it used to be in.
I remember reading one thing in the book... Utah lake, 10,000 years ago, was something like 28 feet deeper. Over those years, it received that much depth in sediment from the tributaries/springs that empty into the lake. So, yes.. it was deeper.. but not too much deeper, and that was 10K yrs ago.
Anyway, I was able to talk Reed Harris, the director of the June Sucker recovery program, into sending it to me. I went searching for more information after our discussions on the June sucker a couple weeks ago. I found this site:
[url "http://www.junesuckerrecovery.org/"]http://www.junesuckerrecovery.org/[/url]
After I had read much of the site. I went to the resources page and saw that they had material available. That's how I got my copies.
Anyone remotely interested in Utah Lake really would be impressed with the quality of the material the State put out, and with the History of the Lake.
TD, in that one photo with the man and his wife and the big Bass. They were listed as Black Bass (I think). I might be wrong, but I remember thinking.. I didn't know there were black bass in UL.
Reed told me he had a "couple" copies still left. If no more are available for distribution, I will happily share. We might be OK to make copies of the DVD.. I'll have to find out.
Oh, one more thing...Although already on decline.. you can see from that chart that the drought in the 30's dealt probably the worste blow to the Junies and ended the existence of the UL sculpin, and the cutthroat ..
