Mill Creek will be undergoing treatment to save our native trout! Take a virtual dip into the creek to see the native Bonneville cutthroat trout being saved through this treatment 🤿

Someone illegally dumped brook trout into Mill Creek, undoing years of work to restore native. So DWR is teaming up with the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife, and Trout Unlimited to fix it.

What you need to know 👇
- Treatment date: Sept. 1 (weather permitting), lasting about 2 days

- Area affected: Mill Creek from Church Fork to the I-215 bridge — only the creek itself is closed, trails stay open

- The treatment being used is called rotenone, a natural, plant-derived treatment — safe for people & pets and other wildlife, it only affects fish

- Water may look purple downstream — that’s a neutralizing agent keeping fish safe below the canyon

- Cutthroat trout will be caught & held safely, then released once the water’s safe

Please stay out of the treatment area so crews can work safely

This is about protecting native trout and keeping them off the Endangered Species list.

Remember: illegally introducing fish in Utah is a Class A misdemeanor (up to 1 year in jail + a $2,500 fine).
