So, you are saying that a FEE and a STICKER is the cure? This can not possibly be accomplished through educating and NO EXTRA FEE?
Wyoming & Idaho are charging Utahns almost $100. for a license, where Locals are paying $24.!? Why so much for out of state? Where is that almost $75. going? What are we getting out of this?

In ID your getting access to the high water mark of streams and rivers.
In WY, you get nothing, and like it.

I've allready taken and submitted the survey, hopefully enough concerned people in Utah will complete the survey of proposed new fishing laws for 2011 with personal comments and suggestions, and Fish & Game will take these into account.

I had a tag on my windshield in the lucerne parking lot in february from the Utah DWR about the mussels, but I couldn't find any info on their website. There were only 4 boats on the lake that saturday, and we all got ticketed by Utah. The $10/$30 difference is nothing new, non-residents always pay more than residents for privileges anywhere. I stopped buying non-res utah fishing license when they hit $70 even though I am only 15 minutes drive from utah lakes. I would like to see a regional tag for mussel prevention that would do something to eliminate the threat in the western states, but the fact is the gorge will probably get the mussels sooner or later. Electric lake and red fleet have them, what is UDWR doing to get rid of them there? Flaming Gorge is one of the best fisheries in the US, and sees boats from all over the country and Canada every week. The only hope I see in avoiding it is to post enough signs and have enough people involved that it stops an angler and makes him think about where his boat has been before launching if he is from out of the area.
I guess the real question for us all is not the fact that wyoming has the fee, but why doesn't Utah?

That's the problem with mussels, you can't get rid of them. That's why it's so important to keep them out.
There is now mandatory washes at Red Fleet. A technician is on-site from the time boats arrive, until the time they leave, so they can decontaminate all boats. Fortunately, no adults have been found in the reservoir yet, only veligers (larval form) back in 2008.
UT doesn't charge a fee, because it's currently funded by the UT State legislature. That could change though. WY is charging a fee, because their legislature will not pay for their AIS program after this first year. The money from the decals will be their budget for AIS prevention in the future.
Hope that helps some.

I would almost bet that if Utah does the sticker program, there will be no change in how they stop IN. SP. from entering Utah waters. They'll take the money and run! [angelic]

You are right on the higher for out of staters always being there, but there is many issues that HAVEN'T always been there.
All these new fees and I am not talking a dollar here and a dollar there.
Get use to it? Not hardly.
Will I go to Wyoming? Nope., but I am just one.

If they are going to charge that much they should be inspecting like powell is doing. Turnabout is fair play, UT should hit out of staters 30 bucks as well. It's not WY vs UT, far more out of staters come to the Gorge. I don't want to pay 30 bucks but if it were actually doing something to prevent this muscle from getting into the Gorge I'd gladly pay that. Truthfully UT and WY should wave the out of state fees for each other and add to other states. The resevoir is in both states after all.

I guess most of the DH's in WY. must live around the Gorge as I haven't ran into this type of attitude toward non-residents any where else in the state. I still haven't got any response on the bourbot situation in the Gorge I believe they came from (YOUR) side of the pond.[:p]
