Mantua 1/6

[TubeDude]

Short of a massive restocking program, Mantua may not ever return to its former glory.  The herbicide treatment likely killed off a lot of the aquatic invertebrates as well as the young of most species.  An entire food chain wiped out.  Gonna take some time for Mama Nature to rebuild from the mud up.  Not likely there will be any fish stocking efforts.  Maybe.

So true, Pat. It's a shame as that was my favorite and closest pond to wet a line. 
And I don't see them putting in the $ to completely fix it. Maybe, but it will take some time. My question is, for those responsible, what will they do to rectify this problem? Or do they even care?

I think your last question...about caring...pretty much tells the tale.  The lake has gone from a quiet country pond, a paradise for bank tanglers, small boaters, float tubers and tooners...to a compressed power squadron puddle.  Those who burn gasoline and churn the waters mean more economically to Mantua than a few quiet anglers who would like to catch a few fish in peace and quiet.

Used to love our quiet get-togethers on that wunnerful lil lake.  But the last couple of times I tried to fish it with TubeBabe we became slalom pylons for a dozen racing boats.  No mas.  Ain't fished Mantua for at least 5 years.  Here's a pic of better times.
