[cool]"[size 1]the mighty DWR says we can keep
a few fish between 15 and 22 inches. "[/size]

[#0000ff]It is good that you DO NOT fish STrawberry. The 15" -22" slot is for fish you CAN NOT keep. You can keep all rainbows, but only cutthroats under 15" or over 22". [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]And, for what it's worth, the regulation against handing off fish to other anglers was not intended to prevent overharvest of white bass. DWR would rather see them removed from Utah Lake because they eat June suckers. That regulation probably started on Strawberry, in the olden days, when large groups would line up on the bank and keep catching trout until everybody had their limits. The better fishermen in the group would "help" the kids and the dimbulbs who couldn't catch hatchery pets to fill their limits. DWR doesn't like that.[/#0000ff]
