Show Anglers reminded about fishing regulations During the opening three days of the general fishing season, May 29-31, a six-trout six-trout limit will apply to all waters in the state. After the Memorial Day weekend, the eight-trout limit will be in effect for the remainder of the year, except ex-cept for a few waters with special regulations. All anglers are advised to obtain a copy of the 1982 Utah Fishing Regulations available from license agents and Wildlife Resources offices. On all streams and rivers in the state, only two fish of the limit may be over 13 inches in length. After two trout or salmon over 13 inches long have been caught, artificial lures and flies must be used for angling in all streams and rivers. On the Blacksmith Fork River, artificial ar-tificial flies and lures only may be used from the river's source to its confluence with Rock Creek. All trout over 13 inches in-ches must be released. The Provo River, from Summit Coun ty Road 241 south of Woodland to Highway U-113 at Deer Creek Reservoir Reser-voir and from Deer Creek Dam downstream to the Olmstead diversion, has several special regulations on trout fishing. The limit on brown, brook and cutthroat trout is two fish of each species which must be less than 13 inches in-ches in length. Anglers may take a full limit of rainbow trout of which no more than two may be longer than 13 inches in length. No more than eight trout (or six trout on May 29-31) in the aggregate may be kept. Only artificial flies and lures may be used in this stretch of the river. Fishermen should check the fishing proclamation for regulations on other waters in the state. Before the opening of general fishing season on May 29, fishermen are advised advis-ed to read the "Trespass" section of the fishing proclamation. Trespass laws apply to fishing as well as hunting. A public fishing stream running through private property is not necessarily open to the public for fishing access, even if a fishermen is wading down the middle of the stream. A landowner has the right to post that portion of a stream running through his property closed to trespassing. A fishermen entering posted oh property without permission iss a Class B misdemeanor.
