I have heard three story’s so far about what will take place..
Since we’ve already heard from a State employee (Paul) that your statements are false, I can only assume that none of your 3 stories came from an official source. And yet, you saw fit to bloviate unsubstantiated information to the masses via the Internet. I only have one question; why?
The recommendations below are the only items that were voted on at the RAC’s. They will be the only items that will be presented at the Wildlife Board Meeting. This doesn’t mean that a public citizen won’t get up at the Wildlife Board and present a proposal.
There were two additional items that the public expressed interest in that deserve mention.
- Several wheel-chair bound individuals attended the RAC’s and would like to be provided an allowance for wheel-chair bound folks to bow-fish for carp with a cross-bow
- There were 12-15 Joes Valley anglers who were interested in lifting the reservoir closure to allow some late fall tiger musky fishing. This group of anglers were historically splake anglers but are now apparently converts.

Thanks for the list of recommendations Drew, looks like some good changes, especially the three hooks per line idea, hope it passes.
Why?? At the time it was the only thing I had to go on, and I thought others would like to know…
Having the dates of the RAC or Wild life meetings in a timely time people can plain ahead if they want to attend..
And one of the best places to get INFO is here on BFT..
I for one cannot find anything on the DWR site like the RAC or wild life meetings when looking..
I started putting up posts on the scheduled RAC meetings, agendas and links to the DWR boards where the info was listed…starting a month before the first meeting in September…and then reminders a couple of days before. And then a review of what was covered.

Man… that was a tough one. Right where you would least expect it, on the UDWR website.
I for one cannot find anything on the DWR site like the RAC or wild life meetings when looking..Does the word ‘telephone’ mean anything to you? Here, let me make it easy for you - you might want to write this number down for future reference - Salt Lake City office**: **801-538-4700.
I didn’t see your post, and was out of state fishing on the one I did hear of..I don’t see how the RAC works as well..
Yes phone I did and was told they was no date on them as yet..Do you know what a phone is???Have you called the dwr and tried to get through, the last time I did my phone went died from waiting..
Some of the people on this site would deleted at anything I post even when trying to help thats why I don’t post about fishing trips..
Now in before the lock. People b**** about you cuz you b**** about our wildlife officers and management
Yep can feel the lock coming also.
Now in before the lock. People b**** about you cuz you b**** about our wildlife officers and management. . . and you bloviate unsubstantiated rumors before verifying the facts of the matter with an official source; how rude!

Oh, and IBTL, also.

That’s 'cause they have Caller ID.

Thanks. I needed to clean my monitor anyway. Now I just have to use the industrial strength cleaner, and get the spit, snot, and coke out of the crevices.

Am i reading that right? The proposal is to allow harvest of up to six LMB and one can be over 12"?
I think there are only about 6 in the reservoir total. I’ve only caught one over 12" there. Released all. I didn’t think the population was that robust.
