Here,s a dumb question. Why do they close the tribs at night ? Is it to give the landowners a break from the fishermen ?

Yea, to keep thier dogs from barking, them from worriying who is in thier yard with a flashlight. I have never fished steel, but with the current access issues it seems reasonable to me.
Of course if I did fish them and had figured out that I could catch them at night without the combat fishing, I would be Pi$$3d.....
How about landowners themselves, what if people have bought property for the access and want to night fish, seems like a lot of questions to answer.
Better too far back, than too far forward.

I agree Goodnuff. I think the manchester hole should be closed. It would give the staging fish a fighting chance to get upstream to better water. Think about the tribulation they face using the project waters as a runway, I give props to the fish that make it past the bridge its truly a feat of nature lol. In september its like dropping the doors on amphibious vehicles in the D-day invasion.

Rumor had it that if the fisherman didn't stop littering that the Own of the Manchester was going to possibly shut it down. ( remember that rumor ) only ! Plus i herd their was a bunch of people fishing the Manchester and he wanted to fish and he weals-ed his way into to fish his property and the guys who didn't know who he was gave him alot of grief.For wanting to fish is own property. Thats ashame in it's own.

THink about the crowds there would be upstream if manchester hole was closed. Not a good idea at all. Plenty, and I do mean plenty, of fish make it past the chutes.

That is a great idea. The fish run mostly at night this will put them further upstream. We need to respect his privacy and lastly keep it clean.

You're mistaken. Many guys might think this though, they are dumbasses who think the only way to catch these fish is a yarnball under a bobber. Sorry for being so blunt, sometimes you just have to tell it like it is though.

Really wasn't meant to offend, believe it or not. It's just that, if you really believe what you said in your first post, then that's the only logical conclusion I can come to.

So from my personal experience with the guy, which is really only my opinion. You draw the conclusion I'm a dumbass. I guess I was raised wrong. I'll call my mother and immedietly tell her. Thank you. May God have mercy on my helpless soul.
