[quote MikeHall]Lots of conversation but truth is if those were trout staggers all of them would be in jail no question .... Of course we also know that in the name of conservation the spawn would be closed to fishing ... Of course we all know that our state is very portective of our natural resources especially our public property and our wildlife because it does not belong to you and I ... It belongs to the state of Utah .....[/quote]
yeah, because we all know that the trout spawning and fish snaggers never take trout--like lake trout at the Gorge or at Fish Lake--right? Or, what about the ice off fishing at places like Otter Creek and Minersville that are so popular? I suppose NOBODY goes to those places and fishes specifically for the rainbow trout that stack up along the rocky shorelines and begin their spawning process, right? Or, what about the fishermen that flock to the Boulder mountain each fall to catch spawning brook trout that stack up on the springs by the thousands, right? I am sure none of those fish are snagged and kept, right?
The truth is that there are numerous other fisheries across the state where fishermen love to fish for spawning trout and where snagging frequently occurs. These waters receive no more or no less protection than the inlet some of you are so worried about...
