Ahhhh, East Canyon. From 1991 thru about 2004 I spent many a summer Saturday there Wakeboarding and Waterskiing and bobbing and relaxing, etc. Even had a ski boat in a slip up there that we would go up and use between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on weekdays before work.
We were actually some of the considerate ones, and when it got too crowded (around 10:00 a.m. on any Saturday) that is when we put the boards and ski's away and just anchored or bobbed and swam or relaxed in the wakeless zones. That lake is really just too little. I personally think most of it should be a wakeless zone (like that narrow channel between the two ends of the lake...).
I didn't fish back then, but I was always considerate to the fisherman anyway.
That is why we bought a ski boat (5 of us guys) and put it in the slip up there. For $45.00 a month, all we had to do was carpool up in something with a trailer hitch and we had the lake to ourselves any weekday between 6 a.m and 9 a.m. before work. I miss those days. I converted to fishing when I was spending more time healing than boarding or skiing!
I understand there are supposed to be a lot of bass in there now. But I haven't tried. Has always been pretty good for trout, but when they started having anchorworms I stopped fishing there for food. Since I'm trying to get into bass fishing and don't really keep them to eat, I might start hitting EC again, and I'm sure I'll be yelling at the [url "mailto:#@!%"]#@!%[/url] waterskiers and wakeboarders and jetskiers (never liked the jetskiers...)
By the way, I also fly off the handle when somebody disrespects my truck. Whether it causes any damage or not is beside the point. I would have yelled also. When I detail my truck I spend 3 hours of MY time on it. I'd be chapped if someone threw a water balloon at my freshly detailed truck!
On a side note, just based on your BFT names, the "Trout", "Bluegill" and "Fish" should have been scared!

I used to N.ot have E.nough T.ime O.ff to go fishing. Then I retired. Now I have less time than I had before. Sheesh.
