UTAH FISHING LAWS AND REGULATIONS

You may have purchased your Utah fishing license, but you still need to learn the state fishing regulations and laws before you can head to your first fishing spot. Fishing regulations are put into place to help keep our fish populations healthy and to ensure a positive experience for recreational anglers.

IT’S NOT A FEE, IT’S A CONTRIBUTION

Your fishing license purchase helps to protect and preserve the sport of fishing for years to come. The fees collected from Utah fishing licenses go toward fishery management, habitat development, endangered species programs, and conservation education.
