I used to love fishing up there. That place is always a zoo now. The only time to be in AF Canyon is middle of the week. Otherwise, it's a madhouse. [:/]

South Americans uh?
Does it matter what kind of people they were? Why even mention it?

This is the type of post that always gets my goat. Unless you own Silver Lake, quit griping. Those other folks, regardless of perceived nation of origin, have every right to enjoy the mountains and the outdoors. Just because their method or means are different than yours, it doesn't make them bad people. If they're doing something illegal dial 9-11. Otherwise, accept it or stay home.

South American? Chilean? Brazilian? Venezuelan?....if you are speaking of whom I think you are you may want to brush up on your geography or you just look dumb.

Hey i have no problem with people sharing the lake no matter of race or ethnicity what i have a problem is with the attitude of said persons on the way they handle there dogs chasing ducklings and laughing about it. I only mention south Americans because 95 percent of my encounter up there sat was with south Americans (which is not racist) I live on the North american continent I am north american most whom i met were of central or south american decent. not knowing where they live here i just used south american.
I had issues with them sending kids younger than 5 out on paddle boards right up to me bumping me on the lake. That water was cold enough if one of them fell in it would be over, and there was no supervision from the parents. I by no means own the lake but do respect the water and how dangerous and beautiful it is and do not want to see anyone let alone a child drowned because of negligence. BTW i cleaned up two garbage bags of beer and soda cans after they left trash all over the lake side. so sorry if you thought i was being harsh but that lake is too beautiful to let it turn into Utah lake.
SO if that offends you i am sorry but that is how i feel.

yup south american or central american does not matter. If one of them died it would not be any easier to see that. The negligence I seen was pretty bad. Seeing kids as young as 5 on paddle boards out bumping into me and others on the lake, (with out even a life jacket) is pretty bad. There is no way they would have survived if they fell in. So Gemcityslayer lay off, it does not matter what part of world they are from I do not want to see anyone die a unnecessary drowning

Why in the world did you fish there in the first place? Unless I'm seriously injured or permanently handicapped ( and maybe not even then) I'm going to move on and find a less crowded place. Here's a short list of other bodies of water to look at fishing as most contain fish. It's incomplete as I've fished at least a half dozen lakes or ponds not on the list. And that's just stillwater.

I guess you missed my point, I assume you are speaking of Mexicans when you say South Americans, and that you are North American and live in North America......Mexico IS IN North America.....again, geography helps!

^^^ this! LOL. Remo hit the nail on the head. I also think that skin color should not justify your assumption of where people are from. If they were born here are they not the same as you and I? As my Native American mother in law always jokes, she's the only true American in the family, the rest of us are just permanently visiting. I understand the crowds and getting frustrated. It didn't used to be that crowded but the population of Utah has increased significantly over the past two decades. If you really want to see that area ruined, wait til Snowbird gets their way and that is all privatized and condos everywhere.

Remo I am man enough to admit when i am wrong you are right Mexico is in north america. and i was not in no way assuming they were Mexicans There is a lot of Latin Americans here in the state that are not from mexico there are a lot from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. My knowledge of Latin American is not in question here the fact of the mater is the lack of supervision of little kids on a cold lake. I am North American I live in North America. I am of European decent but i live here.

Chuunk I agree with you mother in law 100 percent. What we did to the Native Americans was by far one of the worst things Anglo-Saxons have done, other than enslaving African Americans. I apologize for the way my ancestors treated people!
I hope snow bird does not get its way.
" I also think that skin color should not justify your assumption of where people are from."
Skin color did not or does not matter to me we all bleed red on the inside. but if you are of browner skin tone most likely you are from Central or South America. I know what i am about to hear is "Not all brown color skin is from south or central america"
That is true some brown color skin is pacific island or Polynesian. ( and i have yet to hear Polynesian speak native language more than 100 percent of the time) Most Polynesian speak great English.
Because A couple of people are butt hurt over this does not change the fact of the lack of PARENTAL SUPERVISION. That is what i am trying to get at not race or color of skin.

Point is, it was a hidden gem that you could only get to with a 4x4. Now they say it's graded so a sedan can make it up....therefore...more people. Too bad.
Still my favorite place in the world to be. Fishing on that little reservoir.
