Black and white crappie (a combined total) 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 | 50 | per person per day, black and white crappie combined (statewide default - Great Salt Lake carries no water-specific rule of its own) |
| Possession | 100 | total you may hold |
Same situation as this water's largemouth bass entry: 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 | 10 | per person per day |
| Possession | 20 | total you may hold |
A real water-specific number, not the statewide default used at Great Salt Lake in this entry - Lake Powell has its own long-published crappie fishery regulation.
What we left out on purpose
- Great Salt Lake's bass/crappie/catfish numbers are the plain statewide defaults, not a water-specific table - none exists for this lake in the guidebook. If UDWR ever publishes a dedicated Great Salt Lake fishery rule (e.g. for the marina, causeway borrow pits or nearby bays), this entry should be revisited.
- Utah's statewide 'possession limit' definition (two daily limits, fish stored anywhere except a permanent residence) is applied uniformly as the 2x multiplier for possessionLimit across all four species here; no water-specific possession override was found for either tracked stretch.
- The Green River's much longer 'Flaming Gorge Dam downriver to the confluence of the Colorado River' segment (no-limit-but-must-kill catfish/burbot/pike/bass/walleye) is not modelled - this site tracks the dam-adjacent A Section trout tailwater specifically, not the general river reach further downstream.
- Utah's community-fishery waters (2-fish combined limit, largemouth bass release encouraged) are a separate, smaller-water category and not modelled - neither Green River, Provo River nor Great Salt Lake is a community fishery.
- Lake Powell also carries no-limit rules for striped bass and walleye, and channel catfish there may be used live as bait for striped bass - none of this is modelled, since neither species is a tracked target for this water on this site.
