With the warmer weather - was wondering if anyone knows the conditions of the boat launches/ramps in these locations?

Any duck hunters been out on Cutler or Bear river? I'd think with the flow - there would be plenty of open water, but wonder what the launch/parking lot conditions are.

I'd heard Hyrum had some ice (a while back), but wonder if the launch is free of ice/snow enough to get a boat in w/out taking the truck in too!
Same question on Pineview - I know it's not capped, and heard the parking lot was snow-free, but how's the launch?
Caught the mixed reviews on Willard's marinas - ice on, ice off, ice on - chop!

Thanks for any info.

Willard north is open and looks totally launchable. here is a guy fishing of the north side boat dock right now.
Willard is an easy one to find out about. o to the web camera and look, that's what I just did.

Drove by Hyrum yesterday. It's almost wide open. There is ice back where the creek comes in on the Southeast corner. Saw a couple of boats out there. I would say you have nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the info.

Thing about the webcam - you can't always tell if it's water or ice down there, even with the Zoom.
Now the three cars in the parking lot with empty boat trailers was encouraging. The ripples of sunlight - yeah, that didn't look like ice either.

I did [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/forum/Utah_Fishing_Forum_C55/Utah_Fishing_General_F58/gforum.cgi?post=629155;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;page=unread#unread"]check [/url]Benson Marina and the Hwy 30 launch into Cutler and they both looked open, though there were ice sheets breaking loose and floating northward.

After the open-water report was thinking of hitting Hyrum for one more float, but now that I've got some fresh carp-meat, I might try to find some hungry kitties or walleye down at Willard.

Still curious how Cache Junction launch or Newton are doing? I'd presume CJ is open, and Newton has some ice, but not safe.

Pineview ramp is completely clear.
