Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout
(Jan 14)![[Image: dot_clear.gif]](http://www.utahfishfinder.com/dot_clear.gif)
Snowy conditions. Ice on the reservoir but thickness unknown...this reservoir has several warm springs that create thinner ice in some areas; use caution.
[red]NOTICE:[/red] Fish health advisory on the North Fork of American Fork Creek: Because of elevated levels of arsenic, anglers are encouraged to limit fish consumption to one cutthroat or brown trout per month on the North Fork of American Fork Creek. Pregnant women and children should not eat fish from this stretch of river. Eating more than one meal per month over a long period of time could result in an intake of arsenic that exceeds EPA standards. Sampled rainbow trout in Tibble Fork reservoir have not shown elevated levels of arsenic. Both natural sources and mine tailings are the probable cause of the arsenic and they are being cleaned up. A continued study of fish in the area will be carried out and this advisory will be updated as needed. Only a small percentage of cutthroats and browns showed elevated levels of arsenic but as a precaution, this advisory is given. Signs will be posted along the North Fork warning anglers of the problem. For more information contact Dave Wham (801) 538-6052 or Scott Root (801)491 5656.
Boats with any type of motor prohibited.
