Utah Fishing: New Tagged Fish Reporting Program Survey |
The Utah Division of Wildlife (DWR) is looking for your help to improve fisheries management throughout the state. Traditionally, we have assessed catch rates with creel surveys, which is where we station a technician at a particular waterbody and ask anglers about their experience fishing. This can be costly, so we want to pilot a new tagged fish reporting program. We plan on tagging some of the fish we stock into Utah's community ponds. A cash reward will be available for some of those tagged fish. We ask that the anglers report a fish when they catch one with a tag, even if it is not associated with a cash reward.
