If you have a fishing license, and you want a chance to catch and keep a bunch of fish, visit Vernon Reservoir within the next two weeks. Starting Monday, Sept. 15, the reservoir south of Tooele will be drained. Completely draining the reservoir to give workers access to the outlet structure on the reservoir’s dam. The outlet is so plugged with debris that water users cannot access the water in the reservoir for irrigation and other purposes. After the draining process starts on Sept. 15, it should take about one week to drain the reservoir. The draining process has been delayed until Sept. 15 to allow anglers to catch and keep as many fish as possible. An emergency amendment to the 2008 Utah Fishing Guidebook, which removes the trout limit at the reservoir, was signed Thursday by DWR Director Jim Karpowitz.
