Bait fishing on the Provo

[Kayote]

I saw a RAC presentation on this in Vernal and heard from both sides. Angler groups apparently were hoping to wait a little while to see what happens post habitat work and feel the DWR was a little hasty. The division made some good points also, with good data to back it up. I have seen Utah streams with little harvest that end up with numerous small browns. I wonder if it will ever go back to artificials if the bait harvest reduces the numbers and the growth rates increase. Seems like it would be easy to over shoot the objective and over harvest the section. It may be hard to get the bait anglers out later if it goes too far. Hmmmmmmm.
