How many Utah fish have a page?
38 species: each with a statewide row of its own, a DWR state record or a place on Fish Utah species lists.
Which guidebook sets these limits?
The 2027 Utah Fishing Guidebook from January 1, 2027; the 2026 guidebook rules through December 31, 2026 and differs only in the rows marked.
Can one Utah water set a different limit?
Yes. The guidebook lists water-by-water rules, and each species page prints the ones that name it.
What is the possession limit in Utah?
Two daily limits, per the guidebook definition, with Flaming Gorge held to one daily limit by rule.
Are state records listed with the angler?
Weight or length, water and year come from the DWR record tables; angler names are left off.
Why do all the trout share one limit?
The guidebook sets trout, kokanee salmon and Arctic grayling as one combined row, so each of those pages prints it.
Which fish must be released?
7 endangered natives must be released alive at once, and from 2027 another 14 native species are catch-and-release game fish; they share one page.
Why does a fish I chase have no page?
It needs a statewide row, a DWR state record or a spot on a Fish Utah species list first.
