[cool][quote SkinnyLynnie]I don't want to sound ignorant, and I certainly don't want to pry or give away the location of your secret place, but where are "The Knolls"? I know Bird Island, Lincoln Beach, Provo Boat Harbor, Saratoga, etc. but I don't know "The Knolls."[/quote]
[cool][#0000ff]The Knolls are directly across the lake from Lincoln Beach, along a stretch of shoreline running to the west, toward Goshen Bay. The whole area, from Pelican Point west, can provide great fishing for all Utah Lake species. The roads from Highway 68 (Redwood Road) down to the lake are terrible and require high clearance vehicles. But, there are numerous spots to park right at the water for overnight fishing and even launching small boats.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Here are a couple of maps. The Knolls is #5 on the Utah Lake map.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]This is not "hot spotting". There are already a lot of people who know and use the area. And, it can handle more fishing pressure. Plenty of fish. But, it can't handle a lot more trash. Unfortunately, too many folks who go down there leave large amounts of trash. If you go, be a part of the solution and not the problem. Bring plastic bags and clean up the area you fish. It won't cure the problem but it will help keep the area tolerable for the rest of us.[/#0000ff]
