Suckers (June or otherwise) are a preferred food group for top line predators. Being from Wisconsin I can tell you that perhaps the "triple A" bait for musky's are live suckers and the sale of live suckers in bait shops is brisk.
Northerns fall into the same group, so one can understand the frayed nerves of the biologists with this news.
Also, Utah Lake is large, shallow and warm with plenty of grub. The type of habitat in which northerns generally prosper. I don't know why they wouldn't do well in Utah Lake. If northerns have truly been there in years past, what's the theory behind them not gaining traction?
