Utah Lake from boat

[TubeDude]

Thank you all for the great info! And a big thank you to Pat! I can only imagine the time it took to put all that knowledge, experience, and information together. Definitely looking forward to getting out and making a report back.

I won’t be going too far from a marina as my boat isn’t very big, and I’m not the risk taker for a fish. I know how those even slight winds can be deadly out there. Luckily all the intense experiences on big blue have taught me a thing or two about watching the weather and navigating a storm!

Happy to help when I can.  Hope it helps shorten your learning curve on your new water.  

Time?  I've been fishing Utah Lake since the early 1960s.  But the enjoys far outweighed the "classroom" part.  And the photos, maps, editing and writing?  Also something I enjoy...especially if it helps others.  An occasional acknowledgement or thank you keeps me going.  

Reminds me of a fave joke.  An old farmer was famous for always winning the top prize for pigs at the state fair.  A newly appointed farm advisor in the area visited the farmer to try to get some "inside info" on his secrets.  When asked about his system the old farmer replied that it was all in the feeding...that he had a lot of apple trees and fed his pigs lots of apples.  The farmer even invited the new advisor to observe the feeding process.  When they went outside, the advisor noticed a heavily laden apple tree...with two ladders propped up against it.  And then two big strapping farm boys came out of the barn carrying a big pig...which they laboriously hoisted up on the ladder.  As the pig enthusiastically chowed down on the apples, the advisor was dumbstruck.  What could he say that would not offend the old farmer.  He settled for "But isn't that kind of time-consuming?"  

To which the farmer laughed and replied "What's time to a pig?'
