More info on the Utah Lake White Bass Tournament, also on May 20th.
This appears to be a tournament being put together for the first time. They have a good amount of interest, and they will probably number around 30 or so participants. The organizer has contacted DWR about their tournament and was advised that they would have to register their tournament with the DWR inasmuch as they were offering cash prizes. They would also have to limit their group to using non-motorized boats, and be required to assure their participants were in compliance with licensing and mussel certifications issues. As of my last visit to their FB page they were going to limit their fishing to non-motorized boats, kayaks, tubes, toons and shore fishing from the dikes and the river. I'm sure they will be as respectful to us as we are to them. There may be BFTers among both groups
So, it might be a bit crowded for launching and for access to the river and along the dikes, but there will be lots of open sea for our group.
