What are the thoughts about assigning lakes odd even days for fishing and powerboating. Example: Echo odd days, Rockport even days, Jordanelle odd days, Deer creek even days, odd days for power boaters, even days for fisherman. Paddle boards, kayaks etc. with the fisherman. By staggering the lakes in this manner everyone could do their thing any day maybe just at a different lake. It is my opinion that a couple of accidents with paddle boarders and kayakers could had been avoided if they hadn't been sloshed over by super waves created by surf boats. I know we all need to have our fun but we also need to share the resources and be be considerate. Larger lakes like (Utah Lake, Powell etc.) could be for all any day. If I am correct at least 1 life was lost because of waves knocking a paddle boarder and his dog off the board. After saving his dog and going back for his board he drowned. Yes he should have had on a PFD but we all do dumb things. this is only 1 example I am sure there are others. I would love to here your thoughts and ideas. Lets think of both sides and come up with a fix for everyone.
