Utah's Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) provided the information below:

Upper and Lower Enterprise reservoirs in southwestern Utah will bedrained by August 1. The DWR has changed the fishing regulations at thetwo waters, and at Little Pine Creek, to give anglers a chance to takefish that will be lost when the reservoir is drained.

The changes apply to Uppder and Lower Enterprise Reservoirs and to Little Pine Creek (the outflow from Lower Enterprise Reservoir, for approximately 1.5 miles)

- Effective June 11, 2007 the daily bag and possession limits will be increased to eight (8) trout in the aggregate, and twelve (12) smallmouth bass without size restrictions.

A fish consumption advisory was recently issued for Upper Enterprise Reservoir due to elevated levels of mercury found in rainbow trout. Further information regarding this advisory can be found at signs posted at the reservoirs or by contacting the Utah Department of Health.
