Show FISH AND GAME HIGHLIGHTS FISHING RULES Some of the angling rules to remember re-member were listed today by the Utah Department of Fish and Game. The general angling season begins be-gins at 4:00 a.m., Saturday, June 2, end continues through Nov. 30. Fishing hours daily are 4:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. All persons 12 years of age and older must have a proper license to angle and must display that license visibly on an outer garment whenever when-ever afield. Angling is defined at fishing with a single line attached to a rod or pole, or trolling board held in the hands or attended and having there to any legal baits or lures. "Attended" means that the angler ang-ler shall be within ten feet of equipment equip-ment being used at all times. Bag and possession limit for trout is 10 fish or seven pounds and one fish, whichever is caught first. Resident children under twelve may take only four fish or three pounds and one fish, whichever is caught first. Nonresident children under twelve must fish with a licensed angler ang-ler and any fish they catch must be counted in the limit of the licensed angler. Weight limits of fish caught will be computed on the dressed fish with heads and tails intact. Angling is permitted with any bait except game fish or parts there of and live fish. The eggs of all game fish are permitted for bait. Angling is permitted with any mechanical lure, except no lure shall have more than three gangs of hooks, and no line shall have attached thereto more than two baited hooks or artificial flies. Multiple Mul-tiple prongs attached to a single shaft is defined as one hook. There is no size limit on any fish species that may be taken. New Utah residents must live within the state for a period of six months before they can purchase a resident hunting, fishing or combination comb-ination license, department spokesmen spokes-men reminded. With the recent influx of new residents caused by rapidly growing grow-ing "Space Age" projects, many questions have been forthcoming on residency requirements for purposes purpos-es of purchasing hunting and or fishing licenses. Department officials pointed out that changes made in the residency law several years ago now require that a person be a bona fide resident resi-dent for a period of six months before be-fore purchasing sporting licenses. Until newcomers have spent the required re-quired six months within the state's boundaries they must purchase non resident licenses. Plants of approximately 60,000 large-mouth black bass were made last week into Mona Reservoir, immediately im-mediately south of the town of Mona along Highway 91. Fish for the plant were supplied by the U. S. Department of the Interior, In-terior, Fish and Wildlife Service, and trucked in from New Mexico. |
