Robert, I think the residents of Wasatch County are extremly lucky to be able to fish there today.  As of the latest update (4/22/2020 @ 11:15 AM) it’s still closed to you and I.

I will stay away 
but that looks like to many cars for Wasatch County
but come May first it will be hard not going to Strawberry.  If they don’t lift that stay out of wasatch county.

Robert I think you would be ok to go to the berry, IF you have a way to leave the county and float a boat, Im sure you got one but  not the other right now.

Robert, the Wasatch County Directive was modified yesterday.  They now only suggest/recommend that you not come there, instead of making it mandatory that you not visit there.  So, yes, you can now go to Strawberry effective yesterday.  But, of course, it isn’t open near enough to launch and effectively fish from a boat just yet.  But you are legal to go try anytime you want.

Actually, thanks Bob. I appreciated your information. I printed out the links you and others provided on this and previous posts. I read them and made a decision.

Honestly I do not think Wasatch county and the State communicate very well. On Monday, I called the Wasatch County health department and discussed the closure with the person in charge of Wasatch County health. I relayed to her that State Parks, Deer Creek and Jordanelle still had local restrictions that were keeping them closed. Her answer was that Wasatch County has nothing to do with State Parks - she said that is the State’s jourisdiction. I let her know that the State had opened the State Parks but respected the local County health directives, so because of Wasatch County’s stay in place order the State considered these parks still closed. She said she would look into the situation. On Monday I also called Deer Creek State park and told them I had talked with Wasatch County - their response was “what did they say?” No one is communicating here.

I really think the directive last night was Wasatch county’s attempt to comply with the State. It would also be my guess that no one from Wasatch county coummuncated such with the State. Actually I was hoping to see someone at the gate this morning, not to confront, but to initiate communication between the State and Wasatch County.

Thanks again Bob, I do not feel judged. Sometimes with government, you just need to give them a nudge off the top of the slide to get them moving. Not sure why Duchesne County and Garfield County could get it done and not Wasatch, but that is another discussion.

We are 100% in agreement; there IS a breakdown in communcations between state agencies for sure.   :D

And as of right now (4/22/202 - 5:49 PM), both DeerCreek & Jordanelle are STILL listed as closed to all but Wasatch County residents.  And for the record, there isn’t enough money in the state of Utah to make me do fakebook.

Had my 11 year old granddaughter with me to day it was a slow day we only got 7 kokanee and one rainbow in the boat but the rainbow back.
stopped fishing at about 11:30

She reeled all the fish in and only missed one not to bad.
I did not see a lot on the fishfinder no schools, mabe to many boats on the water over the week end.
