You really are asking for it. :-)   While I rarely fish on the lake I try to be as considerate of those that do by giving them a wide berth when we are engaging in recreation with our boat.  But given the constant refrain of complaints from dock owners I assume there are plenty of boaters that are likewise rude to those trying to fish.  I will say that if you are trying to fish in a high transit area (which I see occasionally) no amount of courtesy will prevent you from being impacted by other boaters.

There is a lot more to raising the water levels than just bringing nutty boaters to the lake but I think it is safe to say that the majority of those that do use the lake do so not for fishing but for skiing, etc.  Clearly these are the people that provide the majority of the economic benefit as well.  They buy the most gas, food, etc.  They require more maintenance on their boats.  They fill the restaurants and so on.  For the sake of the businesses around the lake they should be encouraged to spend more time there in the spring and fall and the proposed modifications will help with that.  But it will also help with property values for those that own property on the lake.

So I will agree that this may lengthen the timeframe that crazy boaters are on the lake and that will be a pain for those that are fishing but I still believe it is worth it.
