I’ve been going off of this.
I fish alone 90% of the time or meet friends at the location.

Looks like they updated it last night just after 9pm to what I pointed out.
I guess that is what I was getting at for me…I troll and jig from a boat and live in davis county, so lake fishing is done for me.
dubob you are the smart one here
I want to go to Flaming gorge this coming week, my Granddaughter told me I could not go, but I’m going nuts.
I can buy gas and never see any one, would need a room may beable to get in there with out seeing any one, have not called yet.

I did share my own thoughts with the governor. I encourage you to do the same.
So, I am an man about … the state. I live in ALL COUNTIES. So, where do I want to fish tomorrow? ![]()
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!
https://i.ibb.co/zZTwcTC/3ff7ffaa3093968ab0e0b08e05e6b317-1895221338863771.jpgQuoting myself to add to the list of reasons that fishing is a proper social distancing activity. I read that the virus is killed in 30 seconds with bleach and in ONE second by sunlight. It would seem that driving there alone (not that I want to be alone, but that’s another subject) and fishing surrounded by a mile of space of no other person and being in SUNLIGHT, I would be very safe from the proliferation of the virus while fishing.
DO NOT touch your face. and wash your hands a lot
How many times a day Do you touch your face?
The average person can touch their face up to 3000 times a day. But between touching our faces, we are also touching everything else, including doorknobs, desks, cellphones, and each other, which carries bacteria. and the coronavirus

Pineview is a county (Weber) managed park, Lost Creek is managed by Morgan county.Hold on there old timer. :D
While there is a County Park up in Ogden Valley, it ain’t Pineview. The County Park up there is North Fork Park and isn’t connect with, or adjacent to, Pineview Resrvoir in any way, shape, or form. Pineview is a USDA Forrest Service unit in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. It is controled by the Ogden Ranger District. They, in turn, have contracted out the management/running of the facilities at Pineview April thru October. That’s why your State Parks Pass doesn’t work there; it’s a Federal property, not a State Property.
Lost Creek Resrvoir is also a Federal Property, but this time the owner is the US Bureau of Reclamation (BoR) and is under the control of the BoR Provo Area Office. The Operator for this facility is the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District. Morgan County has no function at that facility except law enforcement. Years ago it used to be part of, and managed by, East Canyon State Park. But that hasn’t been true for a very long time now.
And as Paul Harvey used to say - “Now you know the rest of the story.” Are we havin’ fun yet?
[font]OK Bob, now my day wasn’t wasted…I learned something new. But as far as Pineview is concerned, I don’t care for that body of water no mater who controls it… for me it costs too much to launch a boat, and WAY too many folks up there that have more boat than brains…
Lost Creek… well I have fished there several times. Like I said, I do like the no wake policy, but like you said launching by myself can be a pain with no dock. And the long walk back up that ramp to the parking area is about more than my worn out feet and legs can handle now days. Probably why I don’t hit East Canyon any more either. Not tried Echo since it became a state park, but that’s out of my county of residence also.
So for as long as this park restriction holds out, Bear River will be seeing even more of me.
Hate to beat this thing to death (pun unintended) but I’m starting to wonder how restricted we are going to be. I get the thing about the county waters being limited but there appears to be even more restrictions coming. I have a son (Utah County) who spent the weekend shed hunting in Garfield County. He and some of his friends from his work place were camped in a remote area about one hour out from Blanding when they were confronted by a Garfield County Sheriff who told them to leave asap inasmuch as they were not residents of the county. He produced some kind of health advisory document that had just been adopted that prohibited non-county residents from recreating in Garfield County. If other counties or Gov Herbert enact something similar state wide it will impact more than just a restriction on county ponds. I never thought the C-19 bug would significantly impact our non-spectator sport of fishing but who knows where this thing is going??
I’m willing to do my part to get this virus under control but I sure hope it does not advance to the point where even fishing is prohibited. Will someone please tell me I am wrong and assure me they will not take my fishing away.
**Lynn, I wish I could say you are wrong, but I don’t think you are. While the actual act of fishing is a good “distancing practice” I think the Gov. is deciding to err on the side of extreme caution. Cuz to get to where you want to fish, most of us need to drive to another county or at least thru our own county. That is unless you can cast your line from your own property into some fishable water.

Yup Craig. you are right about Blanding being in San Juan County. I got my info from wife who got it from my son and in the exchange Blanding moved to Garfield. When I asked for a copy of the notice the sheriff issued them the geography righted itself.
We can hope for the best but in the mean time prepare for the worst. What we really need is some warmer weather.
Tight lines.
I’m not directing this to any one individual; just general comments to anybody who cares.
We are living in very perilous times right now. Our Federal, state, & local government officials, for the most part, are taking positive measures to try and stay ahead of this current crisis. So far, they are succeeding and we (the USA) are coping far better than a majority of the rest of the world on a percentage of population basis.
We aren’t going to like most of the restrictions being placed on us, and some, less intelligent folks, are just going to completely ignore the recommended and/or mandated restrictions to our basic freedoms. As the new public announcements and commercials we are seeing every day now say, we ARE all in this together. This is serious stuff folks. There is a bigger picture here besides the minor interruptions to our daily routines. And come on - they ARE minor interruptions.
The positive for most of us is the likelihood that if we follow the guidelines and recommendations, we will still be enjoying quality time with our loved ones and friends for many years to come. The negative is that if we don’t, more of us will die earlier than expected. So, where are your priorities? Should we all just ignore the consensus from the experts that we really need to buckle down and defeat this crisis NOW, or do we go for some instant gratification? Or should we take their advice, follow the guidelines, and just maybe get to spend more of our future with friends and family?
To have the ‘instant gratification’ attitude that leads you to say/think, “Screw 'em, I’m going to do it anyway!”, is moronic; and yes, I AM calling you a moron if that is your attitude. This crisis will be beat regardless of the morons. The amount of time it takes to beat it will depend, in large measure, on how many of us pull together vs how many of us continue to be morons. So, it’s attitude adjustment time folks. Please reconsider being that moron. You and our country will be better off if you do.
Thanks for listening; I’m stepping down off the box now. ![]()
*I myself have been hunkered down for 2wks now yet today I must do some shopping for essentials and then back to the next month isolated with a possible essential mission somewhere. Also been seeing on the news how some governors on the east coast are closing their borders to out of state none residents. This is appearing to a possibility of a challenge under the constitution of the United States and the 14th Amendment. *
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
*I have no idea how this will effect or pan out to those powers to be and those who enforce laws within our own state boundaries. COVID-19 is not something we need and to get a handle on it we should stay isolated keeping our families as safe as we can. I have 2 sons with their families living in Sacramento which we are praying that this virus doesn’t strike them.
BE WELL & BE SAFE TOO ALL*
Anglinarcher - you and I agree 100% on this: the REAL truth is hidden somewhere in the middle. At 77 and a total of 40 years working as a Fed, I to have just a little insight into the intricacies of how the swamp works. I also think it is wiser to err on the side of caution. That said, I think we can both agree that safe living for all of us is a worthy goal. Peace and tight lines to you always.
