Provo Boat Harbor

[Kent]

Fish this morning in the blizzard.

Drove from the Tooele area to fish the docks at Provo State Park as I did yesterday. State park at its finest locked all the gates that accessed the Rental slips which is the vast majority of Dock Fishing. They explained that the public is not allowed on the rental docks. When the marina is frozen the gates are no deterrent you just walk around on the Ice and open the gate from the dock side or access the docks wherever. Now that the edges where the gates are located are open water you can no longer access the docks by walking around the gates, the docks however are still encased in an Island of Ice but rules are rules!

I was pleasantly surprised to find the gate unlocked on the rental gate, when I fished last time.  That is a first for me.  I have found the gates opened (obviously opened from the inside), but still locked.  Last year, I called the office, down there, and asked why they didn't unlock the gates and let anglers fish from the docks, during ice season.  I was told because they didn't want anglers fishing from the docks!
