Eating Fish from Utah Lake

[doggonefishin]

For what its worth, a few years ago, the DEQ released the hard numbers for their mercury testing. The Utah Lake panfish and white bass had some of the lowest mercury counts in the entire state. As Tube Dude noted, these species tested negative for high PBC levels too. In contrast, many of our so-called "clean" lakes like Jordanelle have fish in the mercury advisory level or nearly so.

I have no hesitation eating a plate of panfish or white bass fillets from UL anytime I'm in the mood for it.
