Abstract

Fish Lake, which is located in Sevier County, Utah, is considered to be one of the most productive lakes in the intermountain regions. It is visited annually by thousands of fishermen from Utah and surrounding states. In 1934, a thirteen day check made by the Utah Fish and Game Department showed that anglers caught 17,521 fish with a total weight of 13,844 pounds, and spent a sum of $27,246.21 on expenses.

Because of the great recreational value of Fish Lake, chiefly as a fishing resort, it is desirable to find out whether or not any great change has taken place or is taking place in the fisheries of the lake, in order to draw up a suitable plan of management for the fisheries. With these objects in mind, a series of investigations were carried on at the lake in 1935, 1938, 1940, and 1941. Part of the data gathered from these investigations are used as a basis for this paper.
