[#0000ff]There are lots of good spots to tube for kitties around Utah Lake. At the state park, you need to launch at the last ramp and kick your way out past the no fishing area inside the harbor. Lots of cats both inside and outside. Some of the best in that area is just north of the north dike. You can also go the other way, and fish out around the mouth of the Provo River.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Quite a few BFTers fish the Lindon Boat Horbor area from tubes and toons. Sometimes good inside the harbor. Launch from the ramp. Most times you will do better for more and bigger kitties by kicking your way outside the harbor and fishing either north or south. Lots of spots and it takes a while to learn them. Right now the water weeds are getting too thick to fish well away from the shore, but you can still find a lot of fish right up in the shoreline reeds...fishing bait below a bobber.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]One of my favorite tubing spots is Lincoln Beach. You can launch off the shallow beach in front of the facilities, or you can drive out on the south dike and launch from several spots on the end. Lots of good cattin in that area.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Still another prime area for cat tubin' is over on the West Side, to the west of Pelican Point. Several dirt roads go down off the highway to deeply rutted roads along the lakeshore. Probably the best place for most vehicles is the area called "The Knolls". Take the dirt road turnoff at Mile Marker 19 to drive down to the lake and then follow the roads in either direction to find suitable camping or launching spots. Warning. It can be crowded with wacko campers on weekends and it is a popular area with the shooting crowd. Not uncommon to fish to the accompanyment of gunfire and to have bullets whizzing overhead. Bring your kevlar fishing jacket and a good helmet.[/#0000ff]
