SMALLMOUTH BASS LIMIT IS 20:

You may keep 20 bass of the most common size (9-12 inch). Release larger bass that are able to eat smaller bass.  This program has been successful in allowing smallmouth to grow to larger sizes and has helped restore the proper size balance within the smallmouth population. It is not as important to keep as many smallmouth in 2007 as it was in 2002.  Keep some for supper but do not waste fish. 

LARGEMOUTH BASS LIMIT IS 5:

Largemouth numbers are rebounding with rising water, flooded brush and more aquatic weeds. Largemouth still do not comprise an ideal percentage of the bass population.  Please release all largemouth which will allow these faster growing bass to represent a larger portion of the bass community. Keep more abundant smallmouth for a tasty bass meal. 

BLACK CRAPPIE LIMIT IS 10:

Crappie fishing will be good in 2007.  Please honor the limit of 10 as the crappie rejuvenation will only be short lived.  The limit was decreased to allow some limited harvest but to protect crappie until higher lake levels cover new brush and allowed crappie populations to expand. This is the 2nd year that the reward of protecting crappie since 2002 will be realized.  Let's protect them by harvesting only a few fish to prolong the crappie population as long as possible.  

STRIPERS NO LIMIT

Keep all stripers caught, especially the small ones to keep the population in balance with the forage base. Immediately put stripers on ice in a cooler and fillet them as soon as possible for excellent eating. The best method of keeping striped bass for the freezer is to vacuum seal fillets before freezing.

Chumming (only with commercially prepared anchovies/sardines) is allowed to increase harvest of striped bass which may over populate if not controlled by anglers. Cut anchovies into small pieces and broadcast in water around boat. Striped bass in the area will strike anchovies or lures within 15 minutes of chumming. If no bites within 15 minutes there are no active stripers in the area. Move to new location and try again. 

CHANNEL CATS (and bullheads) LIMIT IS 25:  Catfish are underutilized and can be harvested with no guilt up to the daily limit.

WALLEYE LIMIT IS 10:  Walleye are extremely efficient predators. Please keep all that are caught up to the daily limit for proper predator-prey balance in Lake Powell.

ENDANGERED FISH: RELEASE IMMEDIATELY, POSSESSION NOT ALLOWED.

Colorado pikeminnow (Squawfish), razorback sucker, humpback chub, bonytail chub, flannelmouth sucker.
