I have a friend that lives on Manitou and he said there are NO WEEDS whatsoever... He said the lake association had NO interest in the fishing.. they just wanted to make it easier to get their ski jets and pleasure boats away from the bank. Supposedly.. there were HUGE numbers of bass and other fish floating belly-up after the weeds were sprayed.. SAD...SAD...SAD..

He also said many of the property owners were AGAINST opening the lake back up to boaters..especially tournament anglers.

Manitou has ALWAYS been one of my favorite lakes and I always enjoyed fishing there but I DO expect some friction between local people and visitors.
