GOT A FISHING IDEA?

Even though Utah's 2008 fishing regulations won't be decided until fall, Division of Wildlife Resources biologists already have some ideas they'd like to share. And the biologists are anxious to hear ideas from anglers and others across the state.

"If you have an idea for a fishing regulation change in 2008, please share it with us," says Roger Wilson, cold water fisheries coordinator for the DWR. "We need to hear from you no later than June 1. Summer is the time when we put our fishing recommendations together."

The changes the biologists are considering for 2008 are available at www.wildlife.utah.gov/public_meetings/next.php.

To share your ideas, attend one of the Regional Advisory Council meetings next week or e-mail your comments to DWRComment@utah.gov. You can also submit comments to Sport Fisheries Coordinator, Division of Wildlife Resources, Box 146301, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-6301.
