sorry, just a rant, not a real reply to you, forgive me.
When your run a flat bottom boat, and get swamped by chuckling idiots at a lake like Newton, you'll understand where I'm coming from. Bamaboy can tell you about having a toddler on board, and about getting sunk. Some folks seem to seriously enjoy that.
A place like Cutler - I enjoy for the the peace, tranquility, bird-sanctuary (and big fat catfish!).
The Maze area, and south of Valley View is really more of a Canoe/Kayaker's dream, and should remain more tranquil (until the wind whips up the whitecaps!).
Barney is a "nickname" for one of the "officers of THE LAW" down at Mantua. They own that town, they own that lake, they own all the nationally famous speed-traps through Sardine canyon. I had a run-in my VERY first out with a new boat last year. Yeah - still a bit bitter. Never mind me.
There's a LOT to explore along the Bear River/Cutler marsh, and on down to the Bird Refuge down towards Corrine. Lots of birders get out there for pellet-flinging adventures, too - during those seasons.
Used to catch NOTHING but mudcats out there, but started to discover the Channels, Bass, Crappie, even tapped into Walleye. There's also a few flavors of trout you might run into. And then there's all the carp.
When you add it up - the Bear River, Logan River, Blacksmith Fork, Spring Creak, Cub River - lots of waters dumping into that same body, then flowing on out through Cutler dam. so yeah- it's a mix up.
There's a number of spots for shore access, but tell ya - to really appreciate the marsh - ya gotta get out and float, get lost and enjoy. Fun to get together with others, enjoyable to get lost in the solitude.
Always welcome to join up for a venture. If it EVER warms up - I hope to drag the boat to work, and duck out for some afternoon/sunset outings as we move into summer. Should be some fun tugs ahead!
