Fishing

So much for fishing being an inexpensive, past time hobby.

It's possible that the implementation of the higher-than-normal fee is the result of that tragic incident when a lady swimming in Pine View was killed by drunken idiots who, upon seeing what they had done, fled the scene without rendering assistance.

While the boat guys were certainly sued for wrongful death, they don't have deep pockets, which is why the state was likely named as a defendant in the lawsuit.

I suspect we are all paying for idiocy of three drunken boaters.

Nothing against responsible drinking.

What I find even more offensive is that they're closing a public highway (made for cars) for a bike race?

I though their big thing was "Share The Road".

Now that's ridiculous!

When they pay registration/insurance/licensing fess to ride their bikes on our highways, then they can demand special rights. Until then, use the shoulder or the sidewalk! quote]


I don't know anything regarding this bike race. But just an FYI, some of the roads around and up to Pineview from Ogden will also be closed in the morning and early afternoon on May 19th for the Ogden marathon. There are other ways to access Pineview, which you can get a better idea of by looking at the race map http://www.getoutandlive.org/...hon%20Map%202011.pdf .

So for those planning to fish Pineview on Saturday the 19th, driving up from Ogden may not be possible. And trying to get there early also probably wont work as the race starts at 7am and the buses start transporting runners at 5am.

Never have fished PV....but just wondering if these launch fees are a good or bad thing? Does it really limit the usage? Does it limit water skiers more than fishermen?

who ever said fishing was inexpensive? Maybe if you're fishing with a willow switch, line, hook and a split shot.
Sorry FishinDoll, no dis intended. I think it's on the off-topic board now, but a thread about the cost of fishing.

I don't even invest in the HIGH end gear, and Cabela's has been sending me the hardbound annual catalog of catalogs... just don't tell my better half what THAT means!
Add in gas to get there, cost of running a boat (if you do), bait, lost lures (grr)... now slapping more launch fees and access fees.

How bout the pitch into the Musky breeding program!

So there's what - three launches at the View, one private, then the other two are both $12 to get access now?

So Goddess. . . what are the bushes for? Willow switches for insta-poles?
Maybe I picked a good year to pick up that Idaho pass!
