[quote Therapist]Ah, you had to go and save his butt !! People need to READ the proclamation and know what the rules are, so you don't get nailed by DWR.
AS to Willard, it used to have restrictions on snagging, but DWR couldn't control it so they gave in and let em have at it.
The main reason for the restrictions on Utah Lake is to protect the June Sucker. They don't want snagging of suckers and having them get injured or thrown on the bank. We should have TD recount some of the stories of the infamous "Geneva Dry Fly "days.[/quote]
Sorry, but the DWR did not give in and allow SNAGGING. What the DWR do was allow anglers to fish the inlet and keep a legally harvested limit of walleyes. I realize that it's a hot button subject for some, but it is what it is. If someone is actually snagging and keeping snagged walleyes down there, PLEASE call the poaching hotline or DWR or even the sheriffs dispatch number and report them. I personally won't fish fish it because I hate fishing shoulder to shoulder with crowds of inconsiderate or grumpy anglers. Plenty of nice walleyes to be caught at night along the dikes anyway without dealing with the zoo at the inlet. The light pole is a great place to catch walleyes at night during the spawn......or at least has been in the past when I used to fish it.
