Utah Fish and Game officials held an outside quarterly meeting in Roosevelt to study state projects and plan future meetings in towns beyond Salt Lake City. Tours covered Whiterocks Hatchery, Leota Bottoms, Vernal Bird Farm, Sheep Lake and Flaming Gorge Dam, with focus on hatchery upgrades, oxbow marsh creation, seed plant expansion, and Lahontan cutthroat trout egg transfers from California.
The article discusses Browne Lake development long planned by the same department that created Sheep Lake. It notes Flaming Gorge Dam’s influence, with water storage expected in fall 1902 to catch spring runoff in 1963. The lake would reach 6040 feet elevation and extend toward Green River Wyoming with fishing in the basin near Flaming Gorge Canyon.
Mountain Spring runoff is expected to fill the basin and maintain lake levels via a diversion from Cart Creek. A proposed East Park Reservoir would cover about 100 surface acres, with plans to enlarge Fast Park dam. The project aims to double the lake’s volume atop Brush Creek Mountain, raising the current 22 foot dam to 25 feet and expanding the lake from 120 to about 165 surface acres. A second dam is required to complete the project.
