Conservation ofon Aug. 9. ficers for the UDWR have noted some violations are becoming more frequent. We are concerned that some fishing violations are becoming more EBBS prevalent, raid Dan Barnhurst, UDWR conservation officer. These violations include: over limits and the illegal transportation of live fish and The Next Stage crayfish (crawdads). Anglers need to check the regulations found in the 2002 Utah Fishing Proclamation and Information before they go fishing. The Statewide trout limit is now four, Barnhurst said. Also there are many waters with special regulations and anglers should check the Provisions for Specific Waters section for each new water they fish. We also encourage anglers that fish numerous waters to check more often as regulations may be different for those waters. For example, one common mistake is violating size restrictions. "The bass limit for both Steinaker and Cottonwood reservoirs is six but only one may be over 15 inches on Steinaker and only one may be over 12 inches at Cottonwood. Another example is the special regulation at Pelican Lake. The statewide bluegill limit is 50, however at Pelican, the bluegill limit is ten fish. Transporting live fish and crayfish is also becoming more frequent. A common violation with the potential for some very serious consequences is the transportation of live fish or crayfish away from the water where they were caught, Barnhurst said. With the increasing popularity ofboats with aerated weve seen an increase in the number of people transporting live fish. While most anglers are merely keeping their fish fresh until they get home, others transport fish to make illegal transplants to other waters. While it could cost the angler steep fines, loss of fishing privileges and Department TriUnuiity Dental Clime provides services Tor thiJMicovun.Hl under Medicaid, Cl IIP, and Primary Can1 Network coverage.

Among the statewide awards presented were the prestigious Direct's Award and the Directors Leadership Award. 2002 Directors Award Anglers and ot hers who appreciate the quality of fishing streams and rivers in Northern Utah have Kent Summers to thank for many of them. An aquatic biologist in the Division of Wildlife Resources' Northern Region, Summers was presented the 2002 Director's Award, which is given annually to the Division's outstanding employee. A resident of Hooper, Summers lias more than 30 years experience with the DWR. Kent was one of the first employees to complete all four of Ros gens Stream Hydrology courses, said Kevin Conway, director of the Division of Wildlife Resources. Armed with this knowledge, he enthusiastically set out to evaluate stream habitat in Northern Utah and design projects to restore and improve it. urnmers expertise was quickly recognized by other agencies, including the Utah Department of Transportation and the Natural Resources Conservation Service, which invited him to national meetings to share his knowledge and concern for aquatic habitat. The NRCS also solicited his assistance in several pilot prqjects with private landowners in the Chalk Creek and Little Bear River drainages. Kents easy going manner and understanding of private landowner problems allowed him to easily develop rapport with agricultural interests along Northern Utah streams, Conway said. Private landowners began seekingout Kent for his expertise in restoring stream habitat and protecting their property from Bur-gic- 781-087- lahy teeth; extraction of tenth; palliative treatment.

Award His work at helping sensitive aquatic species in Utah was among reasons Matthew Andersen was awarded the Divisions first Directors Leadership Award. This new award will be presented annually to an employee who consistently demonstrates outstanding leadership skills in the performance of his or her job. A resident of Salt Lake City, Andersen serves as the Divisions native aquatic species coordinator. Andersen took the lead in creating a professional working group, called the FARM team, which is in the sciprocess ofconductingan intensive entific review of fish, amphibians, reptiles and mollusks currently on the state Sensitive Species List. The FARM team will also develop and implement new criteria for determining the status of species, said Division of Wildlife Resources Director Kevin Conway. This proactive strategy, aimed at documenting and providing scientific justification for the status of these animals before models their status is challenged the kind of new management strategies essential to assure the fliture of all wildlife in Utah. he has established at ment Farmington Bay, which attracts waterfowl and shorebirds from the entire continent It's truly one the 'crown jewels of the Western Hemispheric Shorebird Network.

A fourth award, presented by Shikar Safari, was given in May at the annual meeting of the Divisions Law Enforcement Section. The Utah Wildlife Federation presented its yearly award to Justin Dolling, supervisor of the Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area. Dolling is a resident of Bountiful. The new visitor center and various public festivals regarding wildlife education and viewing which are hosted at Farmington Bay are examples of the leadership Justin has provided, said Bill Burbridge, chairman of the Utah Wildlife Federation.
