New Utah Fishing Regs Mean More Trout for Anglers

Come January 1st, 2007 Utah will be implementing some new fishing regulations. But these changes are good news for Utah anglers.

Due to the decrease anglers at Scofield Reservoir over the years, anglers will now be able to catch and keep 8 trout a day. Folks fishing Panguitch Lake and its tributaries will now be able to keep 4 trout of any species caught as long as their less than 15 or larger than 22 inches. Anglers must release trout 15 - 22 inches long.

Folks may use artificial flies or lures at Calder Reservoir, but they can only keep one fish - and it must be over 22 inches long.

In the previous years, you could only fish with two poles in select areas. Come January 1st, that will change also. Anglers will now be able to fish with two poles at any fishing spot as long as they have a two-pole stamp added to their fishing license.
