Which waters in Utah are the most popular? Well, how do you define and measure that?
One indication is the number of views a water gets on the Internet. Utah DWR has a comprehensive website with good basic information about most of our fishable waters. And the DWR can easily measure the number of views for each page.
Writing on the DWR's blog, Crystal Ross gives the list, along with insights about each water.
Below we give the popular waters:
1. Strawberry Reservoir
2. Lake Powell
3. Rockport Reservoir
4. Utah Lake
5. Deer Creek Reservoir
6. Panguitch Lake
7. East Canyon Reservoir & State Park
8. Starvation Reservoir
9. Scofield Reservoir
10. Flaming Gorge
11. Mirror Lake
12. Lost Creek Reservoir
13. Fish Lake
14. Currant Creek Reservoir
15. Mantua Reservoir
Do you agree with that list? I think the top 2 are right on, but I think the rest of the rest is skewed. I'd be interested to know the time period for the stats. I suspect that a summer snapshot would look different.
