New bass regs. Would it have been better to...?

[dowhatwecan]

The DWR did involve ALL the fishing organizations in this decision. We have several meetings with those organizations and the regulations are a result of those meetings. The harvest on all of our bass waters is less than 5% of the total estimated adult bass in our waters. This means that angling does not impact our bass waters. Utah is a desert state. It is the second driest state in the nation. If and when our fisheries struggle it is related to drought and irrigation drawdowns. We have had several great waters years recently and our fisheries have benefited. The next time we have several drought years back to back our fisheries will suffer.
