I couldn't agree with you more. It can be a real PIA to sort your tackle before fishing Mantua (or other artificial waters).
If you've got a dry live well and a couple bags of PowerWorms, grubs, or Senkos, it should be pretty obvious to the officer that he is dealing with a sportsman who is as interested in the health of the lake as he is.
A small price to pay I suppose. If Mantua matures into a trophy bass and trout fishery (again) and we can catch a few 5+ pounders, I'll happily sort my stuff.
Seems like the DWR is making it tougher on the sportsmen in trying to deal with the 'Meat Fishing' problems we seem to experience on Utah waters. I certainly support selective harvest, but it seems that you run into a fair amount of fishermen who will take a limit (or more) of whatever they catch home regardless of whether they're going to eat it or not.
PS - This board really rocks. I'm consistently surprised on the depth of knowledge of the participants. Been lurking for a while - just not posting. This board kicks butt on Doug Miller's board!
