Not being able to fish for those fish while others can is a violation of my rights as outlined in the Utah Constitution to fish and hunt for fish and game in the state that is held in trust for all of the public, not just land owners adjacent to the protected wildlife of the state.
If I had it my way there would be a rotenone drip at the upstream edge of all private property that is not open to public fishing. If I can't get to our fish, no one should be able to get to our fish.
Gone Forever, all the native fish and wild life are regulated by the DWR which in a way does make them public property, on that we agree.
So under your analogy if I own a 100 acres of alfalfa, and there is a big buck standing in the middle
of it you should be able to go out there and shoot it just because you have a tag in your pocket?
i hope the mentality of someone who would poison a stream just because he does not have permission to fish it is not the same mentality of those backing these socialist trespass sceems.
Start dumping poison in “our” water ways and fishing will be “gone forever”.
