FishRadar regulations are summaries for informational purposes only. The figures here are the Utah STATEWIDE daily limits from the 2026 Utah Fishing Guidebook; the guidebook itself warns that specific bag or size restrictions apply on many waters. Lake Powell, Flaming Gorge and Bear Lake are shared with neighbouring states under reciprocal licence agreements — you must follow the rules of the state whose water you are actually fishing, and you may take only one daily limit per day. Always check the Rules for specific waters section before you fish.
