[quote doitall5000]I have had many boat trips to Jordenelle and willard and strawberry. Not once this year have I seen a state parks patrol on the water or even at the launch.[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]I get your point. Yes, they never seem to be around when you really want them to be - like on weekends when the anal openings come out in droves. I too make many trips each season to at least a dozen different reservoirs. Unlike you, I have encountered boat patrols on at least 4 different State Park reservoirs. And just to be clear, Strawberry is NOT a State Park. It, like Flaming Gorge and Pineview are Federal venues and it is highly unlikely that you will ever see a Utah Ranger patrolling them. I have never seen a patrol boat on Strawberry or the Gorge. I don't fish Pineview until ice season and have been checked by COs there a couple of times.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]It would be great if there was a dedicated employee at every State Park to patrol each and every day. The likelihood of that ever happening is NONE. It falls under the category of financial reality.[/size][/#800000][/font]
