Don't Plant Fish In Utah Waters The planting of any fish into Utah waters must be done by the department of fish and game. The department noted that the reason for this strict regulation in the law was to assure that the most suitable species are planted in each water and to prevent the scattering of trash fishes into otherwise clean waters. This is also the reason for the present law making it illegal to use live fish as bait in any water of the state. The law concerning the planting plant-ing of fish reads, "No person, partnership, company, corporation corpora-tion or government agency may place into the waters of the state of Utah any species of fish without with-out obtaining permission from the Utah State Department of Fish and Game."
