Utah Fishing Guide Revised 07-01-09 Utah Fishing News and Announcements: Prescribed burn for Manti-La Sal Forest June 30. A prescribed burn in the west Scofield area is to remove 3,000 acres of brush. This area borders some of the residentional areas near Scofield Reservoir. There will also be some road and trail closures during the controlled burn which include the Fish Creek National Recreation Trail, Fish Creek campground and the Gooseberry Silver Creek Trail. Mussel Inspection Required at Lake Powell In order to launch boats at Lake Powell, federal inspectors will now check boats for zebra and quagga mussels. The "self-certification" program put in place in 2007 has proved inadequate. Some boaters were launching without going through the process. Fourteen staff members have been assigned to do the screening and decontaminate boats as necessary at each of the four marinas. The mussel were originally introduced into the Great Lakes when ocean-going vessels brought them in their bilges from the Ukraine. Their rapid growth make them an eco-disaster. When they were discovered in nearby Lake Mead, warnings were issued for Lake Powell and other Utah waters. Now inspections are mandatory for Lake Powell.
