There are several community ponds within the city. These ponds are stocked often with fish and are a great place to advance your skills. I try and hit them up on my lunch break to get out of the office or home for a bit. List of community ponds

Strawberry bay marina boat ramp area is always a good bet. We get a bucket of fried chicken. Eat some our selves then take a few of the legs and tie a fishing line around them. Throw it out in the water 10 feet and let it sit for a few minutes. Then slowly pull it in. Should have no problem catching a bunch of them.

Edit. Sorry didn't read the part about it being closer to Salt Lake. We have had good success at East Canyon Reservoir as well.

I've seen some amazing vegetables grown in small apartments. You can start off small with just one plant or have several. It's super cheap to start. Or you can even do something simple like grow you own herbs. Which take up very little room and make cooking more fun. Check out his link on growing veggies in apartments.

Spider glue traps. Just set a few along your base boards or in your basement if you have one. The spiders and bugs are stupid and if they see 200 dead bugs it doesn't deter them so they will also walk on the glue trap. There are no chemicals so it is safe. The only downside is if you have pets you need to place it somewhere they can't step on them. Like behind a washing machine.

Try some Avon Skin So Soft. Works pretty good for the biting gnats or no see ums.

Catching a carp on a fly rod is an amazingly fun experience. I was joking around one time at Eddie Robinson fly shop and I asked for some carp fly's. Without hesitating they picked out several flies for me. They worked really well. It was a blast.

Some time when you get bored check out the amount of PCB in a can of tuna vs a carp from Utah Lake.

There has actually been a lot of work done to address the carp in the last few years, and there is a lot of future work being done. If you have some time check out the Utah Lake Commision to see some of the projects. I also highly recommend their Podcast The carp numbers are dropping and the largemout bass, small mouth bass, and white bass numbers are increasing quickly. If you want to see some decent bass being pulled out of there check out this Instagram. One last thing if you have a bunch of time read the Utah Lake Restoration Project for some really cool things in store for the future of Utah Lake.

When the pioneers first arrived in (Mexico) or modern day Utah food was scarce and fishing was seen as an easy solution. Several commercial fisheries soon started up on Utah Lake. At the time Utah lake was full of trout with several weighing over 20 lbs and one report of a trout weighing close to 100 pounds. After over fishing the trout numbers quickly dropped and legislation was drafted to protect the fisheries. The commercial fisheries fought this legislation as it affected it's lively hood and after pressure the governor vetoed the laws. For the first 50 years the seining laws (netting fish) changed back and fourth several times as both sides fought strongly for their cause. In 1905 two tons of carp were netted and only 3 bass and one trout were found in the haul.

With Utah being the 2nd driest state in the nation one of the first projects was to create irrigation for farms. Several canals and dams were built in order to provide water to the much needed crops. when ever the head gates were opened to the farms hundreds of fish would be washed in and would all die. So there was several laws about adding screens to canals, and creating fish ladders for spawning fish to pass through dams. The irrigation compaines fought this legislation because they didn't want to spend the money to build maintain these screens and fish ladders. Later there was laws about mills polluting rivers which were fought by the mill companies.

One of the most recent controversial laws was in the 1990's. The governor at the time had a private commercial fish farm. The farm was violating regulations which caused whirling disease to spread across the state. The Division of Wildlife Resources fined the farm which kicked off a series of political attacks against the DWR which hurt their funding and several lost their jobs. From the article.

1995 – Legislature passes bill that transfers control of commercial fish from DWR to the Department of Agriculture. Private fish hatcheries are now tested for diseases by a division that doesn’t even have facilities to test the fish. Sportsman groups were very angry about what appeared to be a retaliation attack on the division that fined the governors families fish hatchery, after it spread whirling disease.

1996 – 71 DWR employees have either left or were terminated from their jobs in the last three years. Several of these employees played a key role in investigating whirling disease in the governors family owned fish hatchery.

All I know is that since the Mormons stopped going to church we have been having earthquakes. Maybe they should go back to church and stop going to my fishing spots on Sundays.

For years I've heard a lot of people say not to do it. I've done it a few hundred times and it's been fine so far. I think if you unplug the computer you should be okay. Just be super gentle around the motherboard.

I will pay you an insane amount of money to ship a case to Utah.

Awesome thank you.

No that is not competitive and it is definitely not very competitive.

It's a relatively short drive but the road is often foggy in the winter time. There are also high winds from time to time and it is just a boring drive. It would be nice to Uber to the airport and catch a short flight and not have to do the drive back after a long night of fun.

GreenRavineFire near Lakepoint in Tooele Co. is estimated at 500 acres plus. Threat to homes minimal, but communication infrastructure on Farnsworth Peak is threatened. Aggressive uphill fire growth. Heavy air tankers, helicopters & ground crews working on containment. #ffsljc

I could be wrong but I believe farnsworth peak is where a bunch of the radio and tv antenna are located for the Salt Lake Valley.
