Have fished the Colorado River in AZ,NV and CA and water skiers every where. It did not seem to affect the bite at all. Maybe they get used too it. Have still caught alot of fish with no problem.
Yes the fast boats and skiiers have there rights also.
The ? is does it affect fishing.
some say yes some say no, Perhaps in areas were water skiers are the fish get used to it, and in some waters were it is more calm the fish do not like the disturbance, who knows we are not fish, but the fisher man. Personaly I like the calm fishing with no one out there but other calm fisherman. not to say I haven;t stired up the pot a bit. [;)][fishin]
Now are all water skiers considerate ? no- are all fisherman considerate- no- I would like to think that it’s a less percentage with the fisherman but I’m not so sure about that.
