I do like the idea of Utah starting a program with the outfitters and guides, I just wish they would include the fee's for the CWMu's as well!

Agreed...it is about time something was done with the outfitters and guides...too bad they didn't include the fees for the CWMUs.

They all look fine to me. But, they really won't effect em much either. I do have one question though. IS comercial brine shrimping really taht profitable that they can charge that much? jeezz...

Yeah, it's something like a $30 Million industry. Each harvester doesn't make that much, but the industry itself is that lucrative.

That is in addition to the Special Use Permits that already have to be secured before getting your Outfitter/Guide "permit"..This should make a few more "maverik" operations get honest real quick.
