I promised a member of this forum I wouldn't disparage the demographics of the picnickers. I'll choose my words carefully.

New Jersey is extremely densely populated. Look at it this way:

The density of mainland China is 365 people sq. mile.
Japan has 836 people. sq. mile.
New Jersey has 1210 people per square mile.
Somerset County (my home and where the falls are located) has 1,071.7 per square mile.

When you live in a state 50% more crowded than Japan, you're going to have to tolerate a lot of shenanigans like people swimming and picnicking where you are trying to fish.

Try to be positive and look on the bright side - as long as there are people swimming - the bucket brigade probably isn't catching many fish.
