Thanks for posting the article.

This is an excellent time to treat the reservoir. 

It will require much less rotenone and save a lot of money because of the low water level. Smile

I remember fishing Navajo Lake about 65 years ago.  Robert, I think we both need to revisit that area again.

Might I recommend that you revisit in a year or two, after the treatment and restocking? Smile


to be honest, if it's been a significant amount of time since you've been to Navajo, or Duck Creek for that matter, then you will most likely be shocked and disappointed. It's a mess up there. There are probably more people up there in the summer than there are in Cedar City. And nearly all of them have Nevada tags. Not that we don't like Nevadans.....but it's a zoo up there.

So I have a question if anyone knows...What do they do with all the fish that come floating to the surface?  Me, and I think maybe others, might be interested in the chub for our bait freezers.

I am 100% in favor of Utah's DNR treating Navajo Lake. The lake has so much potential and really shined for a while with gigantic splake. Between the chubs and drought that lake has gone right in the crapper. It would be great to see that lake rise of glory again some day.

they don't do anything with the dead fish.


I would guess they would discourage collecting them -- after all, they just had a pesticide applied to them the kill them. But, in all reality, the pesticide would be harmless to you. Still, I believe they would discourage any harvest of them.

I don't know that they'd stop you from doing it, however.

If I wanted chubs -- I'd go get some prior to them being poisoned.
