[cool][#0000ff]Oh yeah. I got the routine from DWR higher ups on that one. "Sure...we can do anything we need to...in an emergency." But they just did not consider Yuba and the perch situation to be an emergency worthy of changing the regs for the anglers.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Every time I have talked to anybody in authority at DWR since, they all say the same thing..."We should have opened the lake, but it would have violated our set procedures." In other words, THERE IS NO GOOD REASON FOR IT...IT IS JUST POLICY.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have fished all over the country and I have never seen a state fisheries department with more politics and bog downs than in Utah. In most states, when something is clearly indicated, it gets done, and signs are posted to alert anglers. It Utah it takes a divine dispensation and then multi-denominational approval to pass something.[/#0000ff]
