Most of us will take home some of the fish that we catch and fillet off the meat while leaving the skin on and freeze it for our next trip after the cats. Just remember that you can not use any sucker meat in Utah Lake. Even the pre packaged stuff that you buy at the store. ...............

[#00bf00]I encourage people to read and reread the regulations carefully.[/#00bf00]
Attached is excerpts from the current state regulations.
As I read it, [#ff0000]game fish or parts thereof cannot be used for bait in Utah,[/#ff0000] except for their eggs, with the exception of White Bass and Yellow Perch in specific waters, in this case Utah Lake.
[#00bf00]As I read it[/#00bf00], you [#ff0000]can use sucker meat for bait[/#ff0000], at least specific types of sucker meat, but [#0000bf]must release all suckers caught in Utah Lake[/#0000bf].
Now, I am open to correction on this. If you can give me a specific page and line to read in the current regulations then I would feel much better about it.
I often see old regulations quoted on the site, like can't fish the Rivers that come into UL in the spring when you can now, but cannot keep walleye during a specific season. So...................
