Fishing contests in Utah must obtain a Certificate of Registration (COR) from the Division of Wildlife Resources [2.1][2.2][2.3][2.4][2.5].

The contest sponsor must verify that each boat operator participating in the fishing contest has completed the Mussel Aware Boater Program online training and possesses a completed “decontamination certification form” [2.5].

Prohibition on Sale or Use of Donations
