Can you keep a smallmouth bass in Utah?

A strikingly high 20-a-day limit reflecting how prolific smallmouth are on Lake Powell - four times the 5-fish largemouth limit at the same lake, and no minimum size on either.

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.
