after first reading your post, i admit i was thinking 'hmmm'. this was no huge surprize to me or most anyone else on here. BUT...after seeing todays news about the shootings at lk sammamish, i was thinking "holy s#!%"!!! it's no surprize that urban area lakes and parks are infested with urban dwellers. unfortunately that includes many low-lifes. personally i rarely, if ever, go to these areas. while a passed out drunk guy may upset you and not be what anyone wants to see, count your blessings that things aren't any worse than that. if you're not comfortable with the area you're visiting, go elsewhere. while you want to do what you can to keep it nice, it's not worth it to get in a twist about it, or worse, get into a confrontation for the wrong reasons......just my 2 cents
fishing may not be life, but it's a great alternative

I fished at Arbor Lake once, and met a couple of shabby looking guys drinking big cans of cheap beer behind some bushes in the middle of the day. I chatted em up and one of them gave me some pointers on where and how to fish the lake. He had a little touble talking, but offered some decent tips it seemed. :)
==urban== please don't tell me to C&R or to fish your way, thank you

I dont know what rock y'all been hiding under but drinking in public places has been going on along time. I live right off Seward Park. There is drinking smoking wacky backy and other stuff to. Where you all been hiding to think this dosent happen everywhere. I stopped fishing with 3 guys cuz they never knew when to stop drinking. Plus they operated boats with me the sober one.It may not be legal but if you arrested all the drinkers there would be no room in jails for the real bad guys.
When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.
