Utah · Trout, kokanee salmon and Arctic grayling (a combined total)

Can you keep a trout, kokanee salmon and arctic grayling (a combined total) in Utah?

Yes, with limits

Green River, Flaming Gorge Dam downstream to the Colorado state line in Browns Park ("A Section" tailwater)

Open year-round
Size
No size limit stated
total length
Daily bag
3
per person per day: no more than 2 trout under 15 inches and no more than 1 trout over 22 inches; all trout 15-22 inches must be immediately released
Possession
6
total you may hold

Utah's flagship tailwater fishery, immediately below Flaming Gorge Dam - artificial flies and lures only, and closed to fishing from a boat with a motor between the Utah-Colorado state line and the dam. This same reach also carries a separate no-limit-but-must-not-release rule for channel catfish, burbot, northern pike, smallmouth bass and walleye; not modelled here since this site tracks trout at this water.

total you may hold

The site's tracked coordinate falls in this stretch (near Charleston/Midway), which carries no Provo-specific override and runs on the plain statewide default - a confirmed finding, since both neighboring reaches (Olmstead Diversion Dam to Deer Creek Dam downstream, and Legacy Bridge to Jordanelle Dam upstream) do carry their own stricter 2-trout-under-15-inches, artificial-flies-only rule.
