This one fish is a big reason Utah Lake looks the way it does today. 🐠

Carp were intentionally introduced to Utah Lake in the 1880s and brought over from Europe, shipped by railroad, and released into the water. Nobody realized what was coming.

They eat the vegetation. They churn up the sediment. And that murky, greenish water Utah Lake is known for? Carp are a huge part of why.

Episode 1 of Utah Lake: Explore More breaks down the chain reaction that changed the lake forever.

What happens when survival mode never turns off?

After the crop failures of 1848, Utah Lake’s fish literally saved the pioneer settlers from starvation. But the fishing spiraled. People were so consumed by it that church leaders had to step in and remind settlers to go home to their families at night.

The lake that saved a civilization was now being fished to death.

In Episode 1 of Utah Lake: Explore More, we dig into the dramatic history of Utah Lake — the ancient giant, the great famine, and the reckless years that followed.
