I guess that is what I was getting at for me...I troll and jig from a boat and live in davis county, so lake fishing is done for me.

You can still fish Pineview, Newton, or Lost Creek locally if they are ice free.  I would guess Newton is for sure, but don't think Pineview or Lost Creek are at this time.  But I don't know that for sure.  I can't do Newton or Lost creek by myself because neither have a tie up dock.  And I have no desire to fish Pineview even if it is ice free.  The docks won't be put in there until they open for the season and I'm not going to pay an almost $20 launch fee to fish there.  But you still have choices beyond just State Parks if you REALLY want to go.  Just sayin'!  

Now I know why so many folks are out along the Bear River Bird Refuge. Davis and Weber counties don't have any state parks to close (or use) Pineview is a county (Weber) managed park, Lost Creek is managed by Morgan county. The turn off to the Willard Bay south marina is practically right on the Weber / Box Elder county line.  Pineview won't accept my state park annual pass, and I don't really care for Pineview anyway. Sorta the same for Lost Creek although there isn't a fee to launch there, I'm not much into trout fishin, although I do like the no wake rule, I agree with Bob, no dock to tie up to while parking or getting truck.  I have eliminated Mantua for the simple reason it just isn't worth the risk of a ticket for breaking some stupid local ordinance that is confusing or incorrectly posted or interpreted. 
So I guess it's the Bear River for bank tanglin, and maybe putting the boat in once it warms up some. 'course that may not be until after the state park closures expire anyway.
