Channel catfish size limit in Utah

You can keep one today — within these limits

Great Salt Lake (near the state marina / Antelope Island Causeway)

Open year-round
Size limit No size limit stated total length
Daily bag 8 per person per day (statewide default - Great Salt Lake carries no water-specific rule of its own)
Possession 16 total you may hold

Same situation as this water's largemouth bass and crappie entries: no dedicated Great Salt Lake rule exists in the guidebook, so the statewide default applies by default, not by a water-specific listing.

Lake Powell (Garfield, Kane and San Juan counties)

Open year-round
Size limit No size limit stated total length
Daily bag 25 per person per day; fish may be filleted at any time and anglers may possess filleted fish - an explicit exception to Utah's usual whole-fish transport rule
Possession 50 total you may hold

Same 25-a-day figure as this entry's statewide-default Great Salt Lake number, but here it is Lake Powell's own directly-published rule, not a default filled in for an unregulated water.
