Former Beaver Girl Married in California The planting of any fish into Utah waters must be done by, or under the express permission of, the state department of fish and game. Primary purpose for this strict regulation is to assure that the most suitable fish species are planted in each water and to prevent the scattering of rough, or undesireable, fishes into otherwise "clean" waters, the department said. These are also main reasons for the present law making it illegal to use live fish as bait in any water of the State. State law covering the planting of fish reads, "No person, partnership, company, corporation or governmental agency may place into the waters of the state of Utah any species of fish without first obtaining permission from the Utah Stats Department of Fish and Game." The department cooperates closely with other agencies in respect to fish stocking as well as in an advicory capacity where private ponds are concerned.
