Shad legal?

[a_bow_nut]

Here is what is in the 2016 fishing proclamation.

• Dead shad from Lake Powell may
be used as bait only in Lake Powell.
It is illegal to remove dead shad
from the Glen Canyon National
Recreation Area.

You may use commercially prepared and
chemically treated baitfish or their parts as
bait in any water where bait is permitted.

Possession of the following nongame fish
is prohibited. If you catch any of these fish, you
must release them immediately:
• Bonytail
• Bluehead sucker
• Colorado pikeminnow (formerly, Colorado
squawfish)
• Flannelmouth sucker
• Gizzard shad (except at Lake Powell,
where you may possess dead shad and
use them as bait)

Willard Bay Reservoir and inlet channel,
Box Elder County
• Limit 10 crappie.
• Limit 6 walleye, only 1 walleye may be
over 24 inches.
• Limit 3 wiper.
• Possession and use of commercially sold
and preserved gizzard shad is allowed.
Otherwise, possession of gizzard shad,
dead or alive, is unlawful.

So unless you are at Powell or are using the commercially prepared packets of shad from the store then the answer is no.
