Results of the 2016 fishing regulations survey - AmyC - 08-21-2015 Thanks again to everyone who took our regulations survey earlier this year. For those who are interested, we just posted the results: http://wildlife.utah.gov/pdf/2016_fishing_survey_results.pdf We will not be proposing any tiger muskie changes this year but plan to examine the issue a little bit more based on the feedback we received. We'll likely propose some changes for muskies in 2017. Our proposed changes for 2016 will be going out for public input at the Regional Advisory Council meetings next month (Sept. 8–17). We'll have more information about the proposals on our website in the next week or so, and I'll post a link here after everything is online.

How do they begin to address it all?? (Except for the obvious dingbat responses) Thanks for the update!

One thing I noticed was how much dissatisfaction there was about Scofield. It seems like a lot of folks are just about ready for the DWR to pull the plug, rotenone the lake and start over. It would appear that only a few "specialists" are currently happy with Scofield right now. Those guys may have a bit of a selling job in persuading the division to stay the course, even if recent gillnetting showed some promise.

I see number 82 is meant to ruffle some feathers.number 110 made me lol [signature] Re: [AmyC] Results of the 2016 fishing regulations survey - one8sevenn - 08-25-2015 Seems like a lot of people want catch and release options. I've seen a lot of studies with a 20% mortality rate on C&R. It's just interesting, is all. [signature] |
