Thanks for the info. I realize all discussions don't necessarily make it into the minutes. And don't think I'm doggin on the DNR guys. They are clearly in a no-win situation. Although I personally don't believe the conservation organizations mentioned is a true representation of Utah anglers, my point was the Yuba project cannot meet the objectives. They (we) don't have access to all the pieces to make it work. Therefore why not embrace it for what it is and turn it into the best pike fishery possible?
It seems we are always lobbying for changes in regs or management to enhance "trophy" potential and it rarely works. The regs on some of these ponds, while well intentioned, don't make a darn bit of difference. I guess I'm saying is it don't make a lot of sense to me to try and prevent the inevitable regardless of the perceived wants of the angling public.
