[quote bassrods]I don't know about you but in the last five years I have only been checked one time in Utah..Now think how many times you have been checked..
Creel survey??? Are you for reel??[/quote]
Doesn't that depend on where you fish, and whether or not a survey is being done?
I was checked EVERY TIME I fished Minersville this year. However, I was never checked while fishing Newcastle. Ironically, the DWR was conducting a survey at Minersville, but they weren't at Newcastle. Coincidence?
Cliff -- do you harvest any bass? I'm not pointing my finger at you -- I'm just curious.
At one time, the Provo River had this same issue and discussion. Too many small fish. Anglers screaming for a slot to protect those mid-sized fish so that they could grow to be big. Problem: NOBODY was harvesting ANY fish. What good is a slot if nobody harvests those fish out of the slot?
