Let us look at a couple of things ...
1. Utah Lake is huge! There is no way we can hammer the white bass populations. There are areas of that lake no one fishes. When low water comes ... the fish move out to deeper areas. They are seeing fluctuations that will cause them to stay deep.
2. The main forage fish on the lake is carp. we kill the carp, we need to replace them with something other than them. That would mean poisoning the provo river and all other inlets. [not gonna happen].
3. Regulations are not given based on popularity. Study and research are the main factors in isuing them out.
Tiimes do change though. Regulations need to be flexible.
Like I said before, there can be a win-win here ... we just need to be pro-active and let the DWR know our concerns.
