Red tape sure is fun huh?
Sounds like a very frustrating battle you have on your hands. Would it be possible to stir the pot in the media or contacting your local state representative or senator. I'm sure there are enough anglers who feel the way you do that there might be enough of a voice to at least be heard. This yay-hoo that runs the DWR is appointed by the governor I assume. Point out to the powers that be that his inaction is having a devastating affect on one of Utah's most valuable resources.
Luckily here in Ohio our DNR works very hard on the warmwater species and they stock everything from walleye to saugeye (hybrid sauger/walleye) to muskie. They do stock some trout too but we have very limited water that will support trout so it's not nearly the focus it sounds like it is out there for you guys.
