If you like to fish in Utah, you have an opportunity right now to share your thoughts about fishing regulations and fishing regulation changes you’d like to see in Utah in 2012.
When it comes to fishing, Drew Cushing says the DWR often hears only from organized groups. “In addition to hearing from the fishing groups,” he says, “we want to hear from individual anglers. We hope those who don’t belong to a fishing group will share their ideas with us too.”
Cushing says even though 2012 is still months away, the agency’s biologists need time before September to consider your ideas and to determine whether your ideas will work. “Please get your ideas to us no later than June 24,” he says.
You can email Drew Cushing at: andrewcushing@utah.gov or call him at: (801) 538-4774.
After examining the ideas they receive, biologists will present their final recommendations to the public in September. The Utah Wildlife Board will make the final decision on Nov. 3.
