[#0000FF]Indeed, there are a few cutts, browns and bows that wander down from upstream tributaries. But they are not permanent year round residents...with spawning and all that. They either retreat back up the cooler waters of the tributaries in the summer or die out in the summer heat...or get eaten by toothy critters.
The strain of cutts that resided naturally in Utah Lake prior to the coming of the pioneers was mostly adaptable to the variable conditions of the lake in those days. But they couldn't withstand heavy harvest, befouled waters and the onslaught of carp. It is a matter of record that the last one was recorded early in the 1930s.
