Reduction theorems of Utiyama type are proved for gauge natural operators transforming principal or classical linear connections on the base manifold into sections of an arbitrary gauge natural bundle. These results are applied to principal prolongation of connections. Also, all such gauge natural operators are described for some special cases of Lie groups.
