Sick fish in Southern Utah

[Beautiful-Fish]

So what's the deal with all the diseased trout down south. I fished Otter Creek 3 times this year and found 75% of the fish had parasites or bacterial infections.


At Piute Reservoir same thing.


Minersville 50% had bacterial infections


Newcastle 50% had bacterial infections & parasites


Quail Creek 50% had bacterial infections


Upper Sand cove 50% had bacterial infections


Question are the Rainbow that are planted at these reservoirs diseased or are the getting sick after they are stocked. At Minersville I did catch two Brown trout that were in perfect shape. Maybe the DWR should put in Browns so that we can catch fish that have no diseases ?
