Conservation officers received a report of illegal activity in October 2018 through a tip line.
Charging documents said Dennett and Wootton took several bass from the Quail Lake Reservoir in southwest Utah without authorization or permits and transported the fish about 180 miles (290 kilometers) east to Lake Powell. |
