Utah State Park Pass changes

[dubob]

Chuck, it makes a person wonder if it continues to be worth it. Every year it seems there are changes to keep up with the demand from a growing population. But are we actually seeing improvements in our State Park Fisheries? Or is it the same old standard.

State Park fees are deposited in the State Park Fees Restricted Account (Utah Code Title 79).  They are used for property acquisition, maintenance, and management.  None of it is used for anything concerning fish.  License fees are deposited in the Wildlife Resources Account (Utah Code 23A).  They are used for fish and game issues (like fish stocking).  The two divisions do not share funds.  Increased State Park fees will not improve fishing opportunities or success within State Parks if that was what you were talking about.
