Next week, the state's Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) will begin holding meetings to gather public feedback on our recommendations for Utah's 2016 fishing rules and regulations. You can review those recommendations on pages 2–3 at the following link: http://wildlife.utah.gov/public_meetings...packet.pdf
We really aren't proposing substantial changes this year. The biggest change would affect when you can keep kokanee salmon. There's more about that proposed change at the bottom of the following news release: http://wildlife.utah.gov/wildlife-news/1...sults.html
We received a lot of feedback in our 2015 survey, and we will be reviewing those responses for some additional changes next year. The RAC schedule is listed below. If you have feedback about the 2016 proposals, please try to attend one of the meetings:
