Utah Lake. IT HAS BEGUN!

[cool][#0000ff]Hey Bro, we weren't really trying to give you a hard time. But I know you came here from another state that has more liberal regulations on crappies and other species. Heck, almost any state is more liberal on crappies.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]My only suggestion is to be a bit more careful about what you post...especially if it can be interpreted as being afoul of regulations. In Utah there are different bag and possession limits for almost all waters that have crappies in them. And the law is open to the interpretation of the DWR officers. If one of them was to find you with 100 fillets...from a water where the statewide limit of 50 applies...he could arbitrarily assume that you caught them in Willard or Powell...where the limit is only 10.

[#0000ff]We have some quirky laws in Utah...especially on trout. For example if you catch and keep a couple of tiger trout under 22 inches in Huntington, and then go fish in Scofield, a CO might check your fish from the other lake and give you a ticket for being in possession of slot limit fish at Scofield.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]It pays to know the regulations and to not leave yourself open to being considered a violator. We know you know how to catch the crappies at Utah Lake. And there are plenty of them in there. But not many folks look kindly on somebody who harvests for the freezer and then boasts about having more than the bag and possession limit.[/#0000ff]
