I was wondering if there was a limit on Whitefish? I caught 2 of 'em today and released them as i was unaware if we had to release them or not. Those Whitefish can put up a good fight. Today was the first time i ever caught one probably because i decided to try out the Famed "WEEB" today and was utterly impressed even though all I caught was the two. The place i tried is one i dont see many people talking about and is where the river comes into rockport res. One was pulled in using a #18 tan BH scud and the other one took my #22 black zebra midge rigged with a split shot and a strike indicator.
Looking forward to fishing there again. I want to know if there is a good way and/or recipe to cook those whities?
I heard they were tasty fish and am wantin to try one. Also, do you gut 'em like a trout or fillet 'em like a bass?
Anyway, i'll post a couple pics and thanks.

Don't think that's correct, Copied this from the dwr reg. Limit on white fish is 10. Hope I have'nt miss read it.[:/] The remaining Weber river is 4 trout.
WEBER RIVER (Summit County) (From the first
I-80 bridge upstream from Echo Reservoir (near
Exit 164) upstream to I-80 bridge near Wanship
(near Exit 156)).
ARTIFICIAL FLIES AND LURES ONLY.

The Mountain whitefish limit is 10 statewide. The only other restrictions are at Bear lake where there are special regs on the 2 species in there. You can have 10 whities in possession(total at your home, camp, or while you are fishing. If you have 5 in the freezer, you can only catch 5 unless you eat some of what you have. That help?
P.S. They are very good eating. Smoked or pan fried like a trout. Dis-regard the myth that they are trash fish, they are actually related to trout. A little different bone structure is all.[cool]

The whitefish limit is not 10 fish state wide- the LOGAN is an exception.

The Logan has probably the biggest average size whitefish in the state. Very rare to catch them under 18"

I saw some little guys down low by the golf course when I fished it last Friday, but all the whitefish I've actually hooked into have been around 18-20". They're pretty healthy fish. Here's a pretty typical Logan whitefish.
