The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources increased the fishing limits at certain lakes as drought continued to lower water levels, making the water bodies less habitable for fish. The fear was that warm waters, which hold less oxygen, might not support fish at all Utah lakes through the rest of the summer, and fish kills could occur.
