Ideas for fishing regulations
Utah's 2007 fishing regulations won't be decided until this fall, but Division of Wildlife Resources biologists already have some ideas they want to with share with the public.
Among the changes DWR biologists are considering for 2007 are:
Raising the trout limit at Scofield Reservoir to eight fish.
Allowing anglers to use a second fishing pole at every fishing water in the state.
Removing the size restriction on walleye at waters across the state.
A complete list of the changes is available at www.wildlife.utah.gov.
