Robert, I think the residents of Wasatch County are extremly lucky to be able to fish there today.  As of the latest update (4/22/2020 @ 11:15 AM) it's still closed to you and I.

but that looks like to many cars for Wasatch County
but come May first it will be hard not going to Strawberry.  If they don't lift that stay out of wasatch county.

I always TRY to not make judgments about others risk management philosophy.  It is your right to decide for yourself what is and what is not acceptable risk.  We all do it at some point.  You know, exceeding the speed limit, running the yellow light, jaywalking, crossing the RR tracks when the lights are already flashing, etc.  Your life; your call.  And violating COVID-19 Directives fall into the same category - risk management.  Am I willing to risk a confrontation with the law, or not.  Again, your life, your call.  I judge you not.  I just try to give the facts as best I can and let you make your own calls.  Tight lines to all y'all whatever your risk management might be.

Also nice to know the kokanee are waking up at Jordanelle.

Honestly I do not think Wasatch county and the State communicate very well. On Monday, I called the Wasatch County health department and discussed the closure with the person in charge of Wasatch County health. I relayed to her that State Parks, Deer Creek and Jordanelle still had local restrictions that were keeping them closed. Her answer was that Wasatch County has nothing to do with State Parks - she said that is the State's jourisdiction. I let her know that the State had opened the State Parks but respected the local County health directives, so because of Wasatch County's stay in place order the State considered these parks still closed. She said she would look into the situation. On Monday I also called Deer Creek State park and told them I had talked with Wasatch County - their response was "what did they say?" No one is communicating here.

I really think the directive last night was Wasatch county's attempt to comply with the State. It would also be my guess that no one from Wasatch county coummuncated such with the State. Actually I was hoping to see someone at the gate this morning, not to confront, but to initiate communication between the State and Wasatch County. 

Thanks again Bob, I do not feel judged. Sometimes with government, you just need to give them a nudge off the top of the slide to get them moving. Not sure why Duchesne County and Garfield County could get it done and not Wasatch, but that is another discussion.

We are 100% in agreement; there IS a breakdown in communcations between state agencies for sure.   

And as of right now (4/22/202 - 5:49 PM), both DeerCreek & Jordanelle are STILL listed as closed to all but Wasatch County residents.  And for the record, there isn't enough money in the state of Utah to make me do fakebook.

State executive orders are usually based on existing constitutional or statutory powers of the governor and do not require any action by the state legislature to take effect.
