Protecting the Weber River Sucker

Protecting the Weber River Green Sucker

Researchers from Utah State University, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources are investigating the decline of the Weber River Green Sucker, a native fish species whose struggles may reveal broader ecosystem problems affecting the river food web. The study focuses on possible thiamine deficiencies and aquatic food-web imbalances that could influence fish survival, river health, aquatic insect productivity, and ultimately the long-term condition of the Weber River trout fishery.  Learn more.

Yellow Lake Fire

"Yellow Lake Fire Oct-Nov 2025"

Restoration efforts on Soapstone Creek—an important tributary of the Upper Provo River impacted by the 2024 Yellow Lake Wildfire—continue to gain momentum. Project funding has reached $24,590, with an additional $45,000 in potential U.S. Forest Service support expected to be confirmed in May.

Volunteer workdays are planned for August, including a large coordinated effort involving up to 100 volunteers, with on-site food and possible grant-sponsored refreshments.

High Country Fly Fishers contributed early leadership through a $10,000 Trout Unlimited Embrace-a-Stream grant, helping launch rehabilitation work and position the project for broader state and federal support. Together, these combined resources mark an important step toward restoring habitat and long-term resilience in the Upper Provo watershed.
