Eating Fish from Utah Lake

[Therapist]

All this from the guy with a third eye in the back of his head !! Seriously, most people look at Utah Lake and assume it is polluted. Quite the contrary. Because UL is so biologically active, any thing that goes into it becomes tied up by the alga and diatoms in the lake. They die off and sink to the bottom, carrying the nasties with them. A body of water like Bear Lake is very slow biologically, what goes in stays there and builds up as it is used by the zooplankton, which are consumed by the small fish, which are consumed by the big fish, which are consumed by people. So you are going to get a bigger dose from fish at Bear Lake or Strawberry than from Utah Lake !!
