1983 UTAH TROUT STAMP

In an e f f o r t to increase funds available for the state's trout f i s h i n g programs, the Utah V i l d l i f e Board has i n s t i t u t e d a trout f i s h i n g stamp. Fast e f f o r t s to increase f i s h i n g license fees have f a i l e d i n the Utah Legislature. The trout stamp takes ef f e c t at the s t a r t of the regular f i s h i n g season (May 28, 1983).

Any licensed fisherman w i l l be required to have a validated (signed) trout stamp i n his/her possession while f i s h i n g for, possessing, or transporting trout. Interstate waters (Bear Lake, Flaming Gorge Reservoir, and Lake Powell) are exempt from the trout stamp requirement.

Fishing i n waters not considered trout waters, such as Utah Lake, V i l l a r d Bay, and Blue Lake, w i l l not require a trout stamp. However, when f i s h i n g i n waters that contain trout i n combination with other f i s h species (Pineview Reservoir, Deer Creek Reservoir, etc.) anglers are urged to have the stamp. I f you catch a trout i n one of those waters, you are required to have a trout stamp and may be given a c i t a t i o n i f you do not.

The Utah Division of W i l d l i f e Resources i s anxious to progress with Utah trout fishery projects and sincerely appreciates your support of the trout stamp.
