What a load of Bovine Scatology !!! Especially at Yuba. Last time I was there, a large Wake Board boat with full tanks went ripping through the narrows, not more the 50 ft from me. There were at least 3 other boats fishing there and a dozen or so on the bank. They went through, turned around and came back through, throwing a huge wake both ways. If I had not been playing a large Pike at the time, I would have run them down.
The lack of courtesy by skiers, boarders, and jet skis is out of control and it is a wonder we don't see more fatalities like the one at Pineview a year or so ago. Yuba is totally out of control, the number of boats there requires some major supervision and I don't believe that the boys in SLC have a clue !! It is just far enough away from SLC that they feel they don't have to pay any attention. I know in the past, when Ranger Pat was in charge, there was him and one assistant to manage the campground, the lake, and everything else. They have some seasonal people now, but they need to have at least two boats on the water by 8AM to manage the traffic !! That goes for Deer Creek, Jordanelle, Willard, and Pine View, Utah lake is big enough that you rarely see major problems.
