[dubob]

However, when I fish Strawberry, I have to pay the daily use fee to launch BUT when the fish cleaning station or restrooms are closed, I don't give them a dime I just launch.

Interesting.  No disrespect intended, but how does that work in the summer when Utah Rec is running the show and has the gate manned?  Do you ask them if the fish cleaning station and/or the restrooms are closed before you pay them the day use fee?  Have they ever said 'Yes, they are closed."?  Did you not pay and launch anyway?  Or maybe you only fish there after Utah Rec is through for the season.  Again, no disrespect intended.  I'm just curious about whether or not this has actually worked for you when Utah Rec is running the show there.

I don't fish Strawberry in the summer unless I am camping there for 2 or more days.  Launching a boat is covered by the camping fee.  After Utah Rec leaves, I just display my lifetime Federal Golden Access card on the dash.  For me, there isn't anything in Strawberry that I can't get at numerous State Park venues that would make the obscene Utah Rec day use fee acceptable.  YMMV!
