Why can't you use live minnows in UT?

I am sure someone will chime in with the correct answer, but last I remember/heard you could not use live minnows anywhere WEST of the Continental Divide. Now I could be wrong, who knows. Reason I say that is because I have heard of guides on Lake Mead using live minnows for the stripers down there. I use to live in Colorado, so it was kind of weird going east and picking up a few dozen live minnows and using them for Wipers and Walleye, then heading West past the "divide" and not being able to purchase or use them.
