As most of you guys know, There are certain lakes in southern california that don't allow kayakers or float tubers, or in some specific cases, only allow sit IN kayaks. They say this is because they want to limit "human contact" with our drinking water... I guess no one told them about every animals fecal matter, dead bodies, and private boater petroleums being released with every outing. I guess its ok for all of those things but God forbid anyone accidently touch the water while landing a bass.
Even beyond all of that, the water doesn't just go straight to our homes, there is a mild purification system that takes place before we get it. So all of the things that go on in the water is cleaned and taken care of before it gets to us. So what's so wrong with letting a kayaker or float tuber on the water? Absolutely nothing. There is no good reason. If I'm missing something let me know
