when thinking about bottling your fish caught in Utah, you might want to consider that the fish you bottle are still considered as part of your daily bag and possesion limit. Only once those fish are consumed do they leave your limit.
From the 2010 Utah Fishing Guidebook (page 15-16):
So, basically, if you bottle 4 trout, you can't keep any more trout until you eat at least 1 of the bottled trout.
I'm not trying to cause issues on this thread -- I'm just trying to make sure that people understand that bottling the fish does not remove them from your daily bag and possession limit. I'd hate for anyone to go get themselves in a "pickle" because they thought they could stock up for the summer by bottling all of their fish they caught during the winter...
(if we really want to get technical, we could start in on the issue of cooking fish while out on the water, or ice....)

From the 2010 Utah Fishing Guidebook (page 15-16):
Quote:In Utah, the bag and possession limits are • the same. For example, once you’ve harvested a limit of trout, you cannot harvest any more trout until you’ve consumed or donated at least some of the trout you’ve harvested. So, if you eat one trout, you can harvest one more the next day; if you eat a full limit, you can harvest a full limit the next day.
So, basically, if you bottle 4 trout, you can't keep any more trout until you eat at least 1 of the bottled trout.
