I iJ ik TOO MANY FISH: Thirty -six frozen trout and 135 pint bottles of canned fish are just too many for one person per-son to have in hisher possession. An Arizona resident, fishing in Utah, found out the hard way. Wildlife conservation officers, Dennis Aim and Dave Hintze, recently stopped the Arizona man at a road block on the road between Minersville and Cedar City. The man had been camped at Minersville Reservoir for several months. At the road block, 36 frozen trout were found in a freezer; an additional 135 bottles of pressure- cooked trout were stored in the defendant's house -trailer. Iron County Justice of the Peace, Haldow Chris -tensen, heard the case, charging the out -of -stater with unlawful possession of wildlife for the overlimit of fish. The defendant pled guilty to the charge and was fined $150. Christensen also ordered both the frozen and bottle d fish confiscated. The 1976 Aquatic Wildlife Wild-life Proclamation places the general daily bag limit for trout at eight (8). Daily bag and possession limits are the same. |
