[quote Therapist] The 
dest part about this is that the water managers are at fault for this huge crisis. They have withheld water from Utah Lake and allowed the nutrient levels to increase to the point that we got a HUGE bloom, many times bigger than what we normally get.l Because of the low water levels, the lake was not getting flushed and all that crap accumulated and voila, we have an even bigger problem. I am amazed that the June Sucker folks did not force the issue and have more water released into the lake. It wll be interesting to see what the result of all this is going to be !![/quote]
Agreed. It sounds like a fish kill at UL is not a question of if, but when. If it is bad, the stink will possibly permeate the entire valley. Then the political stink from an entire county of enraged citizens might force some changes for next year. Hopefully, there will still be some fish to catch at that point.
