[cool][#0000ff]More than any other Utah species, white bass are virtually unaffected by the harvest of anglers. They are more subject to fluctuations in water levels, spawning efficiency among prey species, size and number of predators and their own numbers. If they spawn well and have plenty to eat they are like rats. When times get tough they get fewer and/or smaller...but they will never get caught out by fishermen.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Those who are conservation minded simply can't stand the idea of anglers keeping a lot of fish, even if they are all eaten and none wasted. The
truth is that some waters are suffering from that mentality...which has resulted in too many fish in the heavily regulated waters and stunting of the fish that live there.[/#0000ff]
