The concessionaire running the store also was renting kayaks from a trailer parked beyond the "No Parking Beyond This Sign" sign when I was up there the weekends of the 10th and 17th of June. The operation didn't appear to interfere with launching and recovery of any fisherman’s watercraft.
They were renting by the hour to folks who appeared to paddle around the lake once and go back in. When they approached my fishing position they did not travel either in front of me (where I was casting) or even within 100 ft of where I was. As the temp of the water and air goes up and the number of "summer" users increases, I could see the possibility of crowds but my successful fishing on Manzanita is early and late, not in the middle of the warm summer days...I don't expect to sit out on the lake all day again until October.
I don't worry about other boaters putting fish down, whether it's a kickboat, pontoon, pram, rowboat, canoe, or kayak, the fish under it may react and leave but in a lake, fish move and water doesn't.
