campfire around shore at the berry? - utahgolf - 10-23-2012 is it ok to have fires around shore at the berry? in my younger years I did it but I'm a little more cautious these days. I always enjoyed having a fire while shore fishing this time of year up at the berry. Not sure if I was doing it legally but it was fun and helps when ya take some newbies up there when its cold like I plan on doing.

Didn't see or hear any issues then....so, I'm not much help! [signature] Re: [78Caddis] campfire around shore at the berry? - Therapist - 10-25-2012 I'll bet that there are no open fires up there. I don't know of anywhere in the state that allows an open fire for the past few years due to fire danger !!! Call the Ranger in Heber to confirm !! Re: [utahgolf] campfire around shore at the berry? - danielc - 10-25-2012 I think all fire restrictions are lifted [signature] Re: [danielc] campfire around shore at the berry? - utahgolf - 10-25-2012 I'm not too concerened about a fire safety thing. But more concerned of getting a citation for having it outside of a pit or near an area somewhat close to parking. I could see a CO drivin by and seeing a fire going and writing a ticket.

At least one that they display !! Re: [utahgolf] campfire around shore at the berry? - flygoddess - 11-04-2012 I had to bring this post up one more time after today. I understand wanting to keep warm while fishing and we use to have our camp fire right by the lake at Flaming Gorge, Starvation, even Grantsville. But, I have to ask, does this look right to you? The people that built the fire left over one hour and the fire was a still going. This keeps up and I will say those fires will be a thing of the past. Amazing that some people cannot pick up after themselves and 10 feet from water and cannot put out a fire. These are the people that are killing it for others.

We didn't catch jack squat. I saw one person (of the 15 or so that I could see on the bank -- holy crap, doesn't anyone go to church anymore?) catch a fish, and he hollered that he caught it on a "bubble n' p'wer bait!". /sigh [signature] Re: [TroutBumDave] campfire around shore at the berry? - flygoddess - 11-05-2012 Dude, they don't plant Jack Squat till spring time![laugh] The fire in the picture was unattended. No one remotely close to it. One good wind!!!! Like I said, the lake was maybe 10 feet away, and I am sure they had a drink can. Still holding on to a mess of Indy's for you. [signature]
