So I just got a little 8 week old beagle and am taking him and my wife fishing this weekend. We will be in a boat but I wanted to make sure that this was allowed. Will be going to Quail Creek and Sand Hollow. Any regulations I should know about before making the trip down?

Man, if you can't have your dog with ya in a boat, -------------------, well what baloney rule is next????? I don't know any reg. that is against it but there's alway that possibility in this day and age. Hopefully, someone will have some specifics.[
] Probably a dog on a leash in a state park may apply. But in a boat, give me a break!!!

your fine dude, leash laws might be in effect around the state park, but in your boat, its like you being in your living room

I'd call the state park and ask first. There are places where you cannot have a dog in your boat with you (Deer Creek)

I'm sure you are right and I'm not arguing, But c'mon people. How could they legally prohibit your from taking YOUR dog on YOUR boat? That's like saying you can't take any "old" people with you on your boat, or you can't take "little kids" with you on your boat. I can't imagine anyone writing a ticket for something like that, and, if they did write a ticket, I'm sure that wouldn't hold up in court.

Here is what the State has to say about Deer Creek:
http://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/deer-creek
On the State Parks "General Park Rules" page it states:
"Pets – Pets are allowed at most Utah State Parks. Pets are not allowed on the Frary Peak trail at Antelope Island, on the Rock Cliff side of Jordanelle or outside of the campground at Deer Creek. Pets are not allowed in buildings, cabins, yurts, on beaches, or in the lakes or reservoirs. Service animals are the only animals admitted inside park buildings. Pets must always be on a maximum six-foot leash and never left unattended. Do not leave pets tied to a tree or post. Do not leave pets in hot vehicles. Please remember that you must pick-up after your pets."
Here is a list of all the state parks, and you can read the pet rules specific to each.

Quail Creek allows dogs everywhere except one area, I think it's the beach or swimming area. On the boat your fine and most of the shore your fine.

how about those lakes that are not in state park? such as Strawberry which belongs to national forests.

It seems ridiculous, but there is a sign right at the shack that says "no dogs in boats".

It is ridiculous, that is the only reason I dont fish DC anymore. Though I have been guilty of taking my dogs ice fishing there, and got away with it all week. That was a couple years ago, then I found out about the rule and might have gone back 2 or three times since. I never heard about the rule at rockcliff on Jordanelle. That one is new to me.

Dogs are ok just have em on the leash until they are on the boat. The DNR people there stop and pet mine when I take them.

I only looked up the State parks in my initial post. I have no idea about Strawberry.
You might want to try searching for information on the National Park Service or Dept. of Interior websites, or the specific water you are planning on fishing.
It really varies by the area.
Lake Powell, for instance, has it's own set of specific rules:

That's why I havn't been to Deer Creek in over 15 years. My dog is no longer with us, but I still won't go, ever.
They are worried that dogs may do their thing in the water, but there is no worry of the cows upstream. I guess they are a special breed that never go near the water, never deficate and never urinate.
I think the're imported from India. Some breed called "Sacred" cows. They look just like regular cows, but they are sacred.

The water laws make me so
. You can't even take your dog for a hike up certain canyons because they might contaminate the water. But I can run my 2 cycle motor on the lakes? This makes no sense! I guess my dog must be dirtier than all the wild animals that get in the water.

Good you said that, because that law reads no pet IN the water, a boat is on the water, and that is the way I would have took it.
I understand the short leash and then no beach.
Allot of people feel they are in nature all is okay.
I went fishing all winter. There is a trail myself and everyone else follows to the river. People loved to take their dogs and let them run on this area.
We had to really watch where we were walking on the trail, and one Pug came very close to snapping the tip off one of my rods.
If there is strict laws, it is these people's fault.
It is tuff knowing I can't take my dog up any of the Cottonwood Canyon's, but skunks, Raccoons (rabies), Deer (lone star ticks)...etc are allowed.

Wow finally got internet access again and am thankful to all the help. I guess its really in how you interpret the law. Just got back from Quail creek and I guess I dont know what I'm doing for them bass cause I didn't get a single bite. My dog slept in his bed we brought out for him the whole time (AWESOME). That made it easy on me and not having to deal with him and focusing more on fishing.
