Stay Safe Stay Home

Guess I am done fishing for awhile even though I go with my dad and my son only (both I am around every day anyways) because I don’t live in a county with a state park with a lake. So depressing! Be safe everyone!

Ironically, if I wanted to be alone, I would go fishing at a State Park that is not in my county. Spacing between people when I do that is typically over a mile. There is a lot of space in State Parks. Here’s a picture of me fishing at a State Park. Just look at all the spaciousness behind me – no getting a virus there! Social distancing is greater than one mile!

If you read the actual document, state parks are closed unless you live in that county. I live in Davis county, so I am done. Oh well. Good luck to anyone that can still fish!


Gov. Herbert Urges Utahns To “Stay Safe, Stay Home” | KPCW

So what about Lincoln Beach at Utah Lake. Bob, couldn’t you go down there and launch your boat? Can I (from Idaho) go there?

I’m pretty sure my hang tag dose not say “county” parks pass. I say either close them completely, or let the public use them responsibly. There are many residents of Weber county that live closer to Willard than some residents of northern Box Elder. Only allowing county residents to use the parks does not add any level of added safety or responsibility. Or perhaps I’m just bitter because this ruins my trip to Jordanelle this week. :blush:

I would like a link or address to respond directly to the great Govenor of Utah
His directive is to broad and needs public responses.

We can all still go to Idaho and Wyoming…see you there!

I’m not sure where that leaves me. I’m in Box Elder Cty. I have paid reservations at Hyrum Res for 3 nights starting on May 11th.

Come on guys; pay attention. There’s going to be a test later. :smiley:

You CAN"T fish in a state park that isn’t in your county of residence.
You CAN fish a state park located IN your county of residence.
You CAN fish in any body of water within Utah’s boundries that isn’t designated a state park unless the owner of the water has declared it closed.

The Directive has a drop dead date of April 13, 2020 at 11:59 PM; unless the Governor extends the Directive sometime before 12:00 AM on April 14, 2020. You can again visit any state park beginning April 14, 2020 at 12:00 AM.

All y’all have been given a link to the Directive in a post above. It’s a HUGE document of 4 pages. Read it! You might actually learn something. And maybe - just maybe - your questions will be answered.

And before anybody gets all bent out of shape, I’m poking FREINDLY fun at all y’all. Chill.


And just today, I heard a doctor on TV saying in this time, while staying at home, we should focus on inner peace. To achieve this, we should always finish things we start.

I looked through my house to find things I’d started and hadn’t finished, so I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of wum, tha mainder of Valiumun srciptuns, an a box a chocletz. Yu haf no idr how feckin fablus I feel rite now. Sned this to all who need inner pizz. An telum u luvum. And two hash yer wands, stafe day avrybobby!!!

I will be putting this to the test, tomorrow. Although, I will not violate the order by going to an out of county state park, and will follow all the recommendations in the directive.

“But it is a CHOICE and not a REQUIREMENT”

This is what is so important in all of this. We should all remember that we live in a free country. Government was never intended to control details in our lives. Acting responsibily should be our choice, not mandated. Otherwise, where does it end? Once government starts to place restrictions for any reason without due process, it is a slippery road that may not end.

Just my thoughts
