Barrier removal
 

I have word from the superintendent of the construction at GSP that the barrier is to be removed in 6 months.

I'm gonna get my popcorn ready and watch this thread explode.

Discussing that barrier's significance is like the new 2-buck limit and catch and release fishing combined!

Just watched a report on the 4 pm news. The existing barrier will be removed and replaced with a booth that will be manned 24/7. There will be a fee to fish the canal. Fee of $10 per day has veen proposed.

Charging to use the facilities that your tax $ built has been so profitable on Priest that the priviledge to use this one should be added.

Oh, you mean like Long Hunter which keeps growing and taking away our public hunting land around JPP?

My favorite is them closing the Elm Hill ramp to the public so only people who have boats "slipped" there can access it.

And if you come in from the lake and want to discharge passengers at the dock next to the ramp, there are old metal bolts sticking out of the dock that will scratch, jab, and damage your boat, aluminum or fiberglass.

Yeah so they'll be room to breathe. I'll have some of that popcorn too Jad2t.

Don't forget about the epic 9mm V 45acp debate.

Just install a perforated fence barrier at the mouth! water comes out but no fish or fisherman can. Nobody wins and nobody has to pay!
your all welcome.
Or just bulldoze the canal full of dirt. Lol

Bulldoze? Dynamite!

Full blown Duck Dynasty....im game! lol

"No one in this town could catch any fish except this one friendly older man. A hopeful young man asked him how he did it. The old fisherman told the young man that he would take him fishing the next day but get there early; he leaves the dock at 5:30AM.

The young man got there on-time and once they got to the middle of the lake the man took out a stick of dynamite, lit it, and threw it in the water. After the explosion fish started floating to the top of the water. The man took out a net and started picking up the fish.

The young man quietly pulled out his game warden badge told him that this was illegal and that he was under arrest. The man took out another stick of dynamite, lit it, handed it to the officer and quietly asked him: "Are you going to fish or are you going to arrest me?"

I love it. My grandfather used to tell me that one.

Yep, mine too . . . I think that's what brought it to mind on this thread. Grandpa would likely be up the channel, fees in hand, smiling at all the traffic; just before ignition and whistling while he collected fins.

:D

About time they removed it. Now all the fish that have been trapped on the otherside for years can access the main lake again. :D

Its definitely had an affect on the fishing. I don't think its better or worse than before just a little different and more social. If it does go thats fine with me it won't change my approach one bit.
