The deadline for public suggestions is June 4.

The public will also get a chance to weigh in on proposals from the DWR at the meetings.

Among proposed changes for 2009:

* Increasing the bass limit to six at Hyrum Reservoir and allowing only one in the limit to be longer than 12 inches.

* Several options to allow more harvest of trout at Panguitch Lake are being discussed. One is to allow anglers to keep rainbow trout of any size, but have a protected slot limit of 15 to 22 inches on tiger trout and cutthroat. Another option is to adjust the current slot limit on trout.

* Increase the trout limit to four fish at Joes Valley Reservoir with only one in the limit being a splake or tiger trout longer than 18 inches. The current regulation requires anglers to release all trout between 15 and 22 inches.

A list of the DWR's proposed changes can be found at www.wildlife.utah.gov/public meetings/next.php.

The DWR will present final recommendations for changes to the 2009 Fishing Guide in September.
