Utah's game fish: Rainbow trout
Coloration can vary. Most mature rainbows, however, have a distinguishable red or pink streak on their side from head to tail. The body is a gray-blue or olive above the lateral line and a silver color below. The body, dorsal fin and tail have black or brown dots. Wild rainbow will often have white-tipped fins.
Characteristics Rainbow trout tend to be shallow to mid-depth "bottom feeders," which makes them easier for shore anglers to catch. They also feed year-round and are a favorite target of ice fishermen. This is probably the most popular fish in the trout family, because it is typically easier to catch, has exceptional strength and is noted for its showy jumping. And, as with all trout, its culinary qualities are excellent. The rainbow, however, does not compete well with other fish, particularly the Utah chub.

Angling for tourists: Hersey dam demolition to restore trout ...
HERSEY - Hopes are the removal of an aging dam will provide a vital key in the survival of one local village.
Like many of the state's more than 2,000 dams, the Hersey River dam in the Village of Hersey was once a significant source of hydropower and important to the community's economic infrastructure.

Constructed in the 1930s, the dilapidated dam is now considered a public safety threat and detrimental to the environment. Its demolition and a river restoration are expected to play a significant role in reviving the community.
“The only business left downtown is the General Store," said Village President John Calabrese. “My feeling is if tourism and recreational opportunities on the river increase, it will inspire someone to reopen businesses and there will be enough people around to support them.
