About Utah Fishing
An independent guide to Utah lakes, rivers and fish stocking. We are not Utah DWR and are not connected to it.
What this site does
We turn public Utah DWR data into one page per water: every stocking since 2002, when the water was stocked in past years, the fishing rules from the 2026 guidebook, a map and nearby waters. 731 lakes, rivers and lake areas have their own page. We also send free email alerts when a water you follow is stocked.
Where the data comes from
- Utah DWR fish stocking report, fetched every morning (60,120 records).
- DWR Fish Utah: size, program, species present, facilities and fishing report dates. We summarize reports in our own words and never copy DWR text.
- 2026 Utah Fishing Guidebook: rules, with page numbers.
- Utah DWR and USGS National Hydrography Dataset map layers for locations and lake outlines.
Quoting and linking our facts is welcome; see data use and attribution.
