We just need to push the DWR for education to anglers who still go up there and kill every fish they catch, not knowing of limits and the slot.[/reply]
Uintaice,
Alan said that based on angler surveys 95-98% (depending on the year) of the folks fishing strawberry know of, understand and follow the regulations,with compliance increasing as the regulations become established. The level of support for the regulations (based on 2003 survey data, i think) was around 90%. He also said that he (DWR) didn't think that illegal harvest of fish was a significant problem. This was based on roadblocks and mass enforcement efforts.
