[quote TubeDude][#0000ff]I once had a guy threaten to swim out and "whup my (behind)" when I corrected him about calling green sunfish "rock bass".[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]What is ...and has led both to citations and written changes to the proclamation...is the inability of many anglers to distinguish between rainbows and cutthroats. On lakes where there are restrictions...like Strawberry...it is important to know how to identify the species you are likely to catch.[/#0000ff]

Aren't rock bass an east-of-the-Mississippi species?
The proc, and the little "cutthroat vs rainbow" pamphlet the wildlife guys put out cleared all that confusion up for me. Where I'm by the proc is where bait is and isn't okay. Like on the lower Provo. I couldn't find a map anywhere that had the DWR's landmark "Olmstead diversion dam" on it, so I just assume anywhere in Provo Canyon downstream from Deer Creek, there's nowhere bait is allowed, and there's a two fish limit. I'm sure I'm wrong but better than getting cited. [crazy]
