[#660000][size 4]Trout limit increased at Minersville and Lower Enterprise Reservoirs[/size][/#660000]
SALT LAKE CITY — Anglers may now keep up to eight trout per day at Minersville and Lower Enterprise Reservoirs, the Division of Wildlife Resources announced June 15.
The size restrictions at Minersville Reservoir have also been lifted and anglers may now use bait when fishing the reservoir.
Both waters are in southwestern Utah.
"Fishing and harvest regulations are being relaxed on these two reservoirs because the reservoirs will likely be drained, or drawn down to very low levels by late summer, due to the drought," said Tom Pettengill, sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.
The changes will remain in effect through Sept. 30. The regulations found in the [url "http://www.wildlife.utah.gov/proclamations/"][#0000ff]2004 Utah Fishing Proclamation[/#0000ff][/url] for both waters will take effect again Oct. 1, 2004 when normal fish stocking begins to replace the lost fisheries.
For more information, call the Division of Wildlife Resources' Southern Region office at (435) 865-6100.
