Fishing Forum

I didn't see an existing thread about this, so I thought I'd start one. The proposed Utah fishing regulations for 2021-22 are now online. There are also a handful of proposed changes to fishing contests. See a summary of the proposals and the dates/times of scheduled public meetings.

If you're interested, please watch the proposal presentation and share your feedback through the online form before the deadline for your regional advisory council (RAC). The online RAC meetings to discuss these recommendations begin Sept. 1, and the first feedback deadline is this Sunday, Aug. 30. 

The online Wildlife Board meeting will be held Oct. 1. The last day to submit feedback before that meeting is Sunday, Sept. 27. 

We hope you're interested in the regulatory process and will take a few minutes to share your feedback. Thanks!

Read and submitted feedback to proposed regulations for 2021-2022. 
Thanks Amy for posting this.

I submitted my feed back to the DWR, but I thought this would be a good string to discuss proposals that are not on this years agenda, but that we would like to see considered in the future. There are a couple I have, the first is having a separate bag limit for Kokannee and trout, like they do in Idaho and the other is to allow the filleting of Kokanee at Strawberry, it makes sense to have the no filleting of trout because of the slot limit, but if you where required to leave the skin on, there is no mistaking a kokanee filet for a trout filet.

Here, here on the filleting of kokanee.
